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. Les apuesto lo que quieran a que Pip no derrama ni una lágrima por Max Hastings.

2)

Pip toma la justicia en sus manos y Charlie Green obtiene su venganza y ni la autora o 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 que Pip vandalizara 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 dejanfo ir libre al verdadero culpable.

The end has salvaged the entire book. Like it was boring until a little over 50% but then everything came together and the rage. The rage was so good I’m still angry alongside Pip.

Is this  truly a five-star I don’t know, but it made me cry like a lot so that Has to count for something. I just really enjoyed this and I just really like pip. It was very mysterious and also kind of creepy. I did kind of guess one plot but like that doesn’t decrease anything for me. I don’t know I think I just read this at the perfect time I still can’t even believe I cried

As soon as I finished the first book in this series, I put books 2 and 3 on hold at the library. Book 2 did NOT disappoint, and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The mystery was intriguing and was satisfyingly solved, in addition to wrapping up a loose end from book 1. There are some odd British-isms, like in the first book, despite being set in Connecticut, but everything else was so compelling I let that slide. Can't wait to read the final book in the trilogy!

Amazing book, plays with your emotions in a way that emulates real life losses and how death and crime are not always solved and ended with happily ever after.
