This was a very messy book, in both a good way and a bad way.

Sou fã da autora e da série do Inspetor Adam Fowley. Todos os livros têm complementos como recortes de jornais, transcrições de entrevistas e outros, que tornam a leitura muito mais interessante e interativa.

Mas este livro é outro nível…é como uma transcrição de um documentário de true crime. Se gostam destes programas, vão adorar este livro.

O leitor tem a oportunidade de analisar mapas, relatórios e outras provas, o que torna a leitura completamente imersiva. Cada episódio do documentário termina de forma bombástica, por isso temos de ler o próximo rapidamente.

Esperam-vos imensas reviravoltas, um formato completamente original e uma história envolvente. Não percam a oportunidade de participar na resolução deste caso arquivado. Não se vão arrepender.

Boas leituras!

Very middle of the road, standard "twisty" mystery. Like most other books I have read in this "found footage" or epistolary-adjacent format, the style does not make up for the substance, and it was a bit underwhelming. Also the final twist was very silly and over the top for me.

Very entertaining and almost graphic-novel like. My prediction was wrong, but that’s okay! I did have a hard time keeping up with all of the characters/potential suspects.
