Me resulta muy dificil hablar de este libro sin compararlo al primer libro de la saga, porque me brindaron experiencias de lecturas completamente diferentes.
Este libro es mucho más oscuro, con un crimen mucho más fuerte según mi parecer y subtramas complejas. Sin embargo, no pude conectar con los personajes, principalmente con Erica que en este libro me resultó aburrida y agobiante, con un relato repetitivo que no aportaba nada a la historia.
Creo que la historia del crimen es interesante pero definitivamente no me enganchó de la misma forma que el anterior.

I found the book fun to read and the plot was interesting but the ending was a disappointment to me. Just a brutally rough note to end on: the girl they’ve been looking for has died. The cops never learn who killed Johannes. Erica’s sister goes back to her abusive ex-husband. The twist about why Jacob’s DNA didn’t match was good, the ending was just such a bummer. There’s so little character development in these books that the plot really has to soar for me, and it fell flat.
