Spanish/English Review.
¡Gracias a Crooked Lane Books y NetGalley por una copia de este libro a cambio de una reseña honesta !
Creo que no había leído una novela policíaca desde que leí la saga Millenium (sí, la de la Chica con el Tatuaje de Dragón, ya sé que es más como de periodismo e investigación pero se siente similar el estilo!). Y regresar a esto fue algo muy padre! Se me había olvidado lo mucho que disfruto un buen thriller, y The Wrong Woman fue un excelente comeback a este género.
Es una lectura rápida, yo creo que si lo hubiera iniciado en el fin de semana, en un día pude haberlo terminado, más allá de lo extenso, la historia te pica! Y una buena novela de este género, si no hace esto, pues algo está haciendo mal el autor.
Tenemos varios puntos de vistas, el principal siendo la agente especial Kendall Beck, toda la trama gira entorno a ella por ciertos puntos que no mencionaré ya que son super spoilers. Es un personaje un poco unidimensional, pero poco a poco vamos conociendo poco de su presente y pasado y como se encuentra demasiado cerca del caso, pero gracias a ella va avanzando! Los demás personajes, algunos de ellos también de la fuerza policíaca y otros relacionados personalmente a la agente Beck, se ven involucrados en el caso, porque aquí se nos juntan uno del FBI y uno de la policía! Esta mezcla fue bastante padre, y debo decir que yo creo que pasa muy a menudo supongo??? Bueno espero que si jajaja
Le doy las 4 estrellas porque me mantuvo picada y lo acabe en 3 días a pesar de tener trabajo pero si le bajo una estrella porque sentí que la trama se resolvió en muy pocas páginas, pero es algo muy común en este género entonces no pasa nada, no se lo tomen en serio, es mi opinión solamente.
Esperen un review en Youtube muy pronto!

Thank you to Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I think that I hadn't picked up a police thriller since I read the Millenium saga (yes, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I know its more of a journalism type, but its the same vibe okay!). Coming back to the genre was pretty amazing! I'd forgotten how much I enjoy these type of thrillers, and The Wrong Woman was a great comeback.
It's a fast read, and I think if I'd started it on the weekend, I would have finished it in a day, more than how long it is, the story gets your attention and keeps you with your head in the book! And a good novel of this genre, if it didn't do this for you, the author is doing something wrong.
We have different point of views, the main one being Special Agent Kendall Beck, the whole plot revolves around her because of reasons I will not disclose as they are major spoiler. Though it is a somewhat one-dimensional character, we slowly start to get to know a bit about her past and present and how she is too close to this case, but thanks to her, it moves forward! The rest of the characters, some of them in the police force and others more on the personal side for agent Beck, are involved as well in the case, because in this novel we see the FBI and police come together for this case! This mix was pretty great, and I guess it does happen often?? At least I hope it does hahaha
I give it a 4-star rating because it kept my attention and finished it in 3 days despite my full workload, but I do have to notch it down from a 5-star review because I fell the plot was solved pretty quickly in very few pages, but I know its something common in this genre so no hard feelings on that, once again, this is my opinion only.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. It’s a great crime fiction book with an interesting protagonist. I feel like Kendall could have been fleshed out a little bit more as a character, and I’d be interesting in learning more about Adam. I enjoyed the way their lives intersected. The author does a good job of keeping the finale of the book from being too obvious, though I anticipate there will be more stemming from this story in a later book in the series.
It was a little bit on the long side and slow to start. Once you get into the story more, it hooks you and reads more fluidly.
This is a series for which I’d be interested in reading future books.

This was a fantastic debut - I was hooked from the start! While the main character is Kendall, I really liked how the chapters would alternate between her, her own investigation of a missing child and her reaction to Gwen's murder, and Adam, the detective leading the investigation into Gwen's murder. I thought it was skillfully written & there never seemed to be any moments that dragged. I hope we see more of Kendall & Adam - they make a great investigative team!
Thanks to Crooked Lane Books & NetGalley for the DRC in exchange for an honest review.

The title has many hidden meaning in the book. I love the cover and that’s was drew my attention. The story follows an FBI agent was a past and a Denver detective and they work several cases at the same time. I imagine this is similar to real life as police have more than one case at a time.
I loved the relationships between the characters and was a little surprised at who ended up playing bigger roles in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who love crime thrillers with multiple things going on. I hope the author writes more books with these characters.

I have to admit that I was drawn into this book first by the cover. The cover gave me the visual of this book being good. I did enjoy the entertainment from the suspense hovering over Kendal and Adams different cases. I thought that the writer did a great job of spelling out the details of both stories and then bringing them together. The story offered some amazing entertainment in the world of criminals and the law enforcement who track them down and brings them to justice.
I have to give a thumbs up to the writer of writing in the killers part in their part of stalking their prey and the killings. I thought these scenes were excellent in the descriptions supplied for the readers imagination. Until next time my fellow readers… read on!
