Devo premettere che ho scoperto solo a metà che questo è il settimo libro di una serie, avrei preferito saperlo prima per poter leggere i libri in ordine però non è un grosso probelma perché tutti i libri della serie si "reggono da soli", quindi non si percepisce di aver perso qualcosa. 

Partendo invece a parlare del libro, bellissimo, ti tiene incollato alle pagine con un'indagine ad opera d'arte. Sospetti su tutti ma certezza su nessuno, veramente assurdo. Procederò a leggere i libri in ordine per avere anche un'idea della trama secondaria.

This was simply not a book for me. The amount of times I started and stopped reading was absurd. It was really giving me reading slump vibes. However, if I’m going to say something positive about it (and I will since I know some people would and have eaten this book up) it would be that the author is very creative. I haven’t read murders like this before. Nor have I read a plot or reasoning for killing like this before! I don’t think that makes up for how convoluted and confusing the whole plot and story structure was, but it’s something.
