Agarré este libro porque había oído buenas cosas de la autora, pero no me dí cuenta de que es el 2do en la serie hasta que me metí aquí a Storygraph y pensé en dejarlo para después cuando tuviera el 1ero

Oh. Mi. Titán. 

Que bueno que no lo hice, es de los mejores misterios que he leído, de no ser por mi trabajo me hubiera terminado el libro en un día. A ver, no voy a mentir si es sorprendente donde inician y donde terminan, pero el misterio no está mal hecho, las diferentes tramas son resueltas en tiempo y forma, los giros de trama que tiene van construyendo la expectativa para cuando se revela la verdad del asunto, los temas que trata y la forma en que Pip cambia a lo largo del libro *cheff kiss*

Hay 3 cosas que me gustaría resaltar:

1. El uso del trope No somos tan distintos/somos iguales
   con la revelación de que Charlie Green es el hermano menor de la última víctima del Monstruo de Margate
   porque, en efecto, Pip y él no son distintos,
   Charlie
   incluso le ayuda a Pip a llegar a terminos con su propia forma de ser. Quisiera que usaran así el trope más seguido, que ni tú ni el personaje estén del todo seguros (o bien sepan) que son iguales. Y les apuesto lo que quieran a que Pip no derrama ni una lágrima por Max Hastings.
2. Cuando
   Pip toma la justicia en sus manos o Charlie Green obtiene su venganza
   ni la autora, ni uno de los personajes sale de santurrón con No, esa no es la forma de proceder, debes subirte a este pedestal de moralidad hueca y decirte que eres mejor que eso hasta que te convenzas. Miren no digo que haya que hacer siempre como ellos, pero le tengo un gran respeto a
   Charlie
   por haberse puesto esa meta y lograrlo (A diferencia de Edmond Dantés). Y también me siento orgulloso de Pip por
   vandalizar la casa de los Hastings y que defendiera a Stanley Forbes
   
   
   
3. Que Pip encuentre su sentido de moral propio y que decida vivir según este es de los mejores mensajes que he visto en tiempos recientes. 
   
   Ya auiero leer los otros libros en esta serie 😄😄 
   
   Sobre lo de que
   Max Hastings
   sale libre a pesar de ser un violador en serie comprobado, me encantaria un libro donde la víctima es él. Acusan a Pip del crimen e investiga el caso para limpiar su nombre pero deja ir libre al verdadero culpable, al fin de cuentas es justicia.

Wow. I really felt this book was going to be a dud compared to the first installment into the series, but I was pleasantly surprised. The beginning seemed really slow to me and I thought that the whole investigation was being drawn out until one point, then the plot was so fast paced and insane I was struggling to keep up. In a good way! I highly recommend and I'm excited for the third book in September!
