As Pip investigates she finds things that just don't seem to make any sense. Jamie is no saint, but his behaviour in the weeks leading up to his disappearance is out and out baffling. Slowly, piece by piece, she starts to put together the weeks before and begin to figure out the knots of tangled threads. Information is teased out and the reader is just as in the dark as Pip for most of the novel, leading to the final conclusion.
There are some niggles with the novel that shorted it of a five star rating. The biggest is the final reveal really could have been teased out and expanded on far more. It's dropped on you in the final pages and it felt wasted as a lot more could have been made of it. Without spoilers, it's a heck of a reveal and felt rushed. There are also a few loose threads that are just dropped; the one that instantly comes to mind is Pip's previous friends turning on her. It's mentioned once and then dropped, without ever being picked back up. Even a simple 'told you so' moment would have been satisfying.
But those are minor niggles in the grand scheme of things and didn't impact my overall enjoyment of the novel, so a solid four stars.

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)
2)
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 😄😄
