Unexpected political psychodrama. Really well done.

I really enjoyed the unique writing style of this story. Hysterical ramblings, run-on memories, deceit actions, and stuck persons.

Je l'ai lu après Le confident et celui-ci m'a beaucoup moins accrochée. Le style de l'auteure est toujours aussi intéressant, mais l'histoire en elle-même est moyennement bien, selon moi... Un peu décevant.

That book was wow!
There are some things that I would like to change about it.
And that feeling struck when u read a good book. All the madness in this book was amazingly written it felt somehow like reading poems, it took me to Argentine and how people thought back then and how the war affected several fragile souls. I read it in two days which it's been a long time since it happened. I felt like I don't want to put it down. So yes. It was a beautiful read.

2.5 - there were things I liked about this book including the varying styles of writing...yet it all seemed a bit disconnected. I'd say that it's pushed to 3 because it's been the first time in a while where I couldn't guess the ending. However there is a reason why, which I'm not sure I enjoy either haha.

Wow! That's how I describe this book. I loved following Eva Maria as she was investigating the death of her psychoanalyst's wife and trying to help prove Vittorio's innocence. I kept trying to figure it out and figured there was a twist but it wasn't as I expected. I had to keep reading to find out who the true murderer was! Very intriguing and edge of your seat type of book! You just never know what to expect! I also enjoyed the Argentinian history that was inserted into the story and how well it fit.

Was very surprised by the ending, and not in a good way. I feel like the entire book was leading up to this grand finale, and it totally fell flat. I like a mystery that feels at least a little bit solvable, and there were barely any clear hints or clues that it would end the way it did. And ultimately, the "bad guy" got away...twice. Trigger warnings would have been really helpful, but they are also a spoiler.
