Aucune note

I picked this book because I'd just photographed the author -- who is super nice -- on the very island where the action is happening. Maybe brutal crime novels aren't too much my thing anymore, all the POV characters withhold information, in one case it works really well, in the others, not so much...

A really good read

4 étoiles

A really good read, the main character is nuanced and the plot strong -- even though the trope "I have a really dark secret, let me tell you about it much later" is a bit overused in novels, it still works, as the story is more than just that.

Avertissement sur le contenu Spoilers ahead!

Good beginning and plenty of interesting ideas throughout the book, but the pacing falls apart, and the characters lack of depth and real evolution.

(Also, by the middle of the book, it become apparent that one of the main POV character isn't very smart, and by the end, she's obviously dumb as rocks. And then, like that, the book ends.)
