Me ha gustado mucho como ha intercalado en este libro la trama actual con el misterio y los flashbacks, muy bien construido todo.

Lots a sadness in this book, but I love this series! "Buried Angels" is an excellent installment in the series and once I started reading, I didn't want to put it down. I love the way flashbacks to characters from an earlier time period captured my attention and tied into the modern story. Lackberg's novels are full of complex characters and intricate plots and I enjoyed this book very much. If you haven't read the prior novels, you could definitely pick this book up and enjoy it without having read the earlier books in the series. Those who have read the other books will appreciate seeing the latest in the lives of the main characters, both the good and the bad.

Oh, lord. It's a bad sign when a character gets into a life-threatening situation and you find yourself rolling your eyes. Again. I mean, the writing has always been formulaic, the characters can all be intensely annoying, and it's generally been clear who the killer is, but that didn't bother me as much before, because there was something good in the stories being told. Now I feel like I got suckered into reading a checkout-lane thriller in which the characters grow increasingly into stereotypes. Babies, near-death experiences, last minute escapes, and nazis, pretty much. I'm going to check out of this series before it gets any worse.

Lo ammetto: inizialmente non ci ho proprio capito niente.
Venivano raccontate tutte quelle storie, apparentemente scollegate tra loro, e facevo fatica a starci dietro senza pensare “Ma che c?”.
Poi è arrivata la spiegazione (non vi faccio spoiler) e quelle cinque storie (Percy, Sembastian, John, Leon e Joseph) che venivano raccontate hanno avuto un perfetto senso logico, e la meraviglia del libro è venuta da se.
Ho letto le ultime 180 pagine circa tutte d’un fiato perché mi era impossibile restare senza risposte anche solo per un secondo, e devo dire che la scrittrice è stata veramente abile.
La scelta del racconto della storia di Dagmar, a inizio capitolo, mi ha veramente colpito perché, quando la storia procede, è possibile cominciare a collegare il tutto e creare teorie sulla “maledizione” di quelle donne.
Il finale, a mio parere, doveva essere spiegato un po' meglio ma va bene così: è stata davvero una lettura fantastica!
