Ay, qué pena estar escribiendo esta review :(. Más que nada, porque amé el primer libro con todo mi corazón y se convirtió en una de mis lecturas favoritas del año pasado, y este ha sido una decepción parcial... Sí, mantiene los mismos elementos del anterior: una protagonista femenina fuerte y que se hace querer, un misterio retorcido muy Agatha Christie, un amor proclamado por los libros y metaficción. De un modo extraño, regresa Atticus Pünd, los juegos de palabras y, con él, Alan Conway. Sin embargo, estos elementos no destacan tanto en este libro, ya que la justificación por los que aparecen me parece tan poco verosímil... Es decir, Susan Ryeland, un poco agobiada y triste en su nueva vida en Creta con Andreas, es contactada por una familia rica para investigar un crimen que está relacionado con uno de los libros de Atticus Pünd. No sé, su papel como detective está guay y tal, pero me costaba creer que alguien la hiciera caso bajo esa pretensión. Ella no es policía ni nada, solo una simple editora. No sé, no me lo terminé de tragar. Pero bueno, la verdad es que es un libro entretenido, que se lee bien (aunque a mí me costó algo más, pero eso tiene que ver con el momento vital en el que me pilló, no por otra cosa).
En fin, a pesar de que este libro no me haya apasionado, sigo queriendo leer más del autor, la verdad. Me parece que tiene mucha big brain energy y quiero empaparme de su sabiduría jejeje.

I finished this in like 24 hours and it was by no means a small book, so definitely enjoyable. Shout out to my love Atticus Pünd, I have to say, I think his story was more compelling than the situation Susan was trying to unravel.
I just think towards the end what threw me off was how she somehow knew what happened in incredible detail without having explained how she acquired that bit of knowledge. I appreciate this is common of "whodunnits" but usually it's the sleuth known for possessing some 6th sense for crimes, she often reiterates that she's not actually a detective and feels out of her depth so...
[[spoiler]] like the safety pin and the dog? come on now. also, another thing that bugged me was when the murderer writes a note explaining their reasoning, idk, it felt a bit ott, hammy even?? [[end spoiler]] maybe I'm being picky but as a whole, a great read and i hope there's another installment (or even another Atticus Pünd story).
