Read this in two days, and most of it in an evening. A fast paced, entertaining read. I was sincerely surprised by each twist and turn which is not always the case with books like this. I found blame in several different people and never expected the eventual culprit! Truly shocking. Left with some eerie feelings.. especially because you don’t get clear closure from the ending.

Amé demasiado el pov de Livia; realmente fue lo que levantó todo el libro para mí y me mantuvo enganchada. Podría leer un libro entero de como está mujer hace autopsias, fr. Creo que nunca había leído un misterio desde el pov de "las autoridades" pero creo que es el formato que más me gusta,; they're all so smart.

La revelación ni en mil años la hubiera visto venir, literalmente fue como la única persona de la que no sospeché. Me agradó que mandaron varias como "pistas" falsas para desviar la atención hacia un buen de personas que ndqvr. 

Yy creo que ya por ultimo, tmbn me pareció bueno el final que obtuvimos pq no fue demasiado fantasioso, se mantuvo en lo que se sentía más real y le dio cierre a todo. 

Me gustaría seguir leyendo el trabajo del autor. 

En fin, esto solo sirvió para reavivar mis ganas de estudiar Ciencias Forenses y morirme de hambre pq no hay oferta laboral en México.

This was very slow to warm up, then I enjoyed it, but then I got bored. I liked the time jumps, but unfortunately the ending did not have a huge payoff for me
