***** SPOILERS AHEAD*****

The book was nice but the ending was a little too easy in my opinion. Whenever a story has a « mysterious twin that we never heard of » kind of twist, I don’t  like it, but maybe it’s just me. I also didn’t quite get why it had to be a « mise en abîme » of a man writing an unfinished manuscript about a woman who also wrote a book and called hers « the unfinkshed manuscript ». I wonder if I’ll get answers on that later, in the se ond or third book.

Très bon livre policier bien ficelé pour qu’on soit toujours en quête de la suite mais la fin m’a quelque peu déçue et le concept du livre dans le livre dans le livre n’apporte pas grand chose au final alors que c’était un concept sympa au premier abord de plus certains aspects ne sont au final pas vraiment explorée
comme l’amnésie traumatique de Léane qui n’est apres pas re mentionnée
