This book was recommended to me by a friend and what an amazing recommendation it was! 
The twists and turns in this book keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page! I thought I knew where it was going and it completely did a 180 in the most interesting way! 
I couldn’t stop my face from being so expressive while reading it, people were probably looking at me a bit strangely in the cafe but I don’t mind! 
This is now a firm favourite, must read more!

Amazing plot, couldn’t put this book down. The characters are cliché but well-written and the ending shocked me. Loved it.

Me gustan los buenos thrillers y me gustan las series de juicios así que este libro me ha encantado.

Odio las reseñas que son: "buenísimo. engancha." En plan, ¿eso es lo mejor que puedes decir del libro? Pero bueno, para quien le interese: engancha. No solo engancha sino que tiene un ritmo muy bueno y la forma en la que está narrado, como una "batalla de ingenios", hace que sea muy emocionante de leer.

El autor es abogado y bastante self-aware de que su profesión es una performance: eso está plasmado tremendamente bien. Es como si el libro dijera: sit back and enjoy the show.

Solo le pongo una pega y es que la resolución del libro es un poco liosa y apresurada para mi gusto, pero fue un final muy satisfactorio. Además reconozco que me gusta cuando los libros intentan despistarte y hacerte pensar cosas que no son para que no resuelvas el misterio antes que el protagonista, pero es que este libro literalmente TE MIENTE. Estoy un poco escocida la verdad.

(Técnicamente es cuarto libro de saga, pero se lee perfectamente).
