Blegh. I had high hopes for this. But for some reason I just could not get into it.

Boring, unlikeable characters. Ridiculously predictable plot. Slow. I kept hoping I was wrong and it would have a huge plot twist. I wasn’t.

After having read and enjoyed two other books by this author I thought I would enjoy this but I did not. It just felt flat, I didn’t care for any of the characters. The only reason I finished this book was because I don’t like to start a task then not complete it.

Me ha gustado mucho mucho mucho. Durante todo el libro me ha tenido enganchada y con ganas de seguir leyendo. Toda la movida sobre psicología me ha parecido muy interesante al igual que todo el tema de los crímenes. Me ha sorprendido porque no esperaba que fuese tan «crudo» (vaya que no se corta en describir las cosas mas gores/chungas) pero sin llegar a pensar «bueno esto solo lo hace por el morbo» (vaya que todos los detalles que da, por muy chungos que sean, son necesarios para la historia).
Ahora con los personajes:
- Gwen-> me gusta que sea tan humana, comete errores y se deja llevar a veces por los sentimientos (yo te entiendo tia por ese hombre yo tmb me dejo llevar) aunque sea muy buena profesional
- Robert-> me parece un personaje super interesante tmb, aunque me hubiera gustado que se hablase un poco más de su background (creo que un pov suyo un poco mas constante habria sido muy útil)
- Personajes mas secundarios-> toda su historia paralela (que en realidad esta bastante entrelazada con la principal) esta muy bien desarrollada, cualquiera podria relajarse con esa parte y  hacerla mas floja o dejar cosas al azar
En resumen porque esto me está quedando muy largo, lo recomiendo bastante y seguiré leyendo a esta autora.

I guessed the serial killer 30% of the way in. I only finished the book to prove that I was right
