Kept me guessing

Un vicio. Un soplo de aire fresco, un thriller que engancha de principio a fin. Reseña completa en la web:

Well, I didn't expect that ending. Not at all. I do wish we had gotten to learn more about Tessa's background, though.

Let's start with what I loved:
-Gardner knows how to write suspense. There are parts where I had to force myself to slow down and read each word instead of skipping ahead because the suspense was just killing me.
-Libby & Ashlyn were strong despite their weaknesses. Another good thing Gardner does is write good female characters.
-She also writes the occasional good guy. Wyatt was funny, smart and not afraid to defer to a smart woman.

And now, this is what I didn't love:
-Not enough Tessa. She kind of had to share her thunder with Wyatt. Thankfully, he's a good character, but I would definitely like to see more of Tessa.
-I did see the outcome a mile away. There was just no other resolution.

While I did see this outcome coming a mile away, I didn't have the details worked out. I didn't account for Radar and Z and what they were really capable of. I truly didn't see the role of any other players except for Justin, Libby and Ashlyn. It's really hard to explain what I didn't see without giving any spoilers away!

I can definitely see Tessa carrying her own series. As an investigator now it kind of opens up all kinds of stuff for Gardner to write about. And her 'connections' with Boston PD and now North Country New Hampshire Sheriff's Department means she can be a part of even more investigations if necessary. I love this woman who will do anything for her kid and almost anything for someone else's kid too.

Really a 4.5! Probably read about half of this book in less than a day! Exciting, riveting finish...Lisa Gardner never fails at this! (I don't think I can go to bed now.) I would have given this a 5, if it hadn't taken me a week to read the first half. So, started a little slow for me, but was all in all a great book!

4.0

Je pense qu’il suffit que je vous dise que le roman a une fin inattendue pour que vous compreniez l’état dans lequel j’étais en le lisant. J’aime beaucoup comment Lisa réussi à nous embrouiller avec ses personnages. On reste aux aguets, pas sûrs d’à qui faire confiance. Qui est/sont les suspects ? Le doute persiste jusqu’aux derniers pages et c’est quand on s’y attend le moins que Lisa nous présente le/les « malfaiteurs » et quelle claque !

En parallèle, l’histoire de Tessa m’a beaucoup intrigué et m’intrigue toujours. J’ai hâte de mettre la main sur le livre qui lui ait dédié, à savoir « Preuves d’amour ».

Loved this book so much. I don't normally read this genre but I really enjoyed it

Overall a pretty good book! Enjoyed reading it

Het is goed geschreven.. maar voor mij was het niet spannend. Geen plot twist die ik niet al zag aankomen, helaas, want andere boeken van haar zijn heel goed maar in deze was ik teleurgesteld.

3.5 stars. A very good read, just a bit too drawn out.
