There is this French word that comes to mind whenever I finish another novel by Dicker - rocambolesque - Rempli de péripéties invraisemblables, extraordinaires : Des aventures rocambolesques. Possible synonyms:fantastic, incredible. Both adjectives find their perfect embodiment in his novels. This one doesn't disappoint and doesn't let up. Chapeau, Monsieur Dicker!
La trama es muy buena ya que mantiene en suspenso al lector sobre quien será el asesino. Durante los capítulos hay muchos giros interesantes que sorprenden bastante, aunque esperaba un final igual de sorprendente; fue un final que no me provocó otorgar la 5ta estrella. No por el desenlace en sí, sino porque no fue impactante.
