Oh lord. Jak z dobrze zapowiadającego się początku zrobić taką klapę, można tylko zapytać autorki. Thriller thrillerem, ale dlaczego miałabym uwierzyć w tę niesamowitą głupotę bohaterów? Brak logiki, zero napięcia, ciarki żenady, postacie płaskie i bezdennie głupie, porzucony wątek, ewidentne nawiązania do klasyków kryminałów, tylko w sto razy gorszym stylu... I ten romantyczny wątek, przy którym na koniec dodatkowo mnie otrzepało. Matko bosko.

a mi no me gusta la navidad, pero fue un buen libro navideño, si se antoja como tener tradiciones familiares (sin el asesinato) y toda la comida que aparecía en el libro se leía muy buena. un poco forzado el tema lgbt la verdad, lo he visto mejor acoplado en otros libros.

medio predecible pero no malo, supe quien era el asesino desde el 4to capítulo. aún así tiene una prosa bastante entretenida, fácil de leer pero con detalles que te crean imágenes vividas en la mente.

I feel like this one wanted to be top tier murder mystery with all the... things, but ended up being tedious and predictable, and way too long for a plot like this, honestly.

I was given this book by my auntie, but it would have never been something I would have bought for myself.

All in all it’s a too easy and predictable read with a cast of absolutely annoying characters that keep acting like no human being would ever act in similar situations.

I finished it just to be sure my prediction, which happened by 20% completion of my reading, was actually correct.
