¡Hola corazones! ya se que saben que me engolosiné con #Netgalley. En total pedí ocho novelas y cinco son thrillers o terror para conmemorar el mes oscuro. Es un poco complicado leer con un tiempo límite pero hasta ahora lo vengo manejando bien (en el medio tengo las lecturas de las cosas que me gustan y hasta contraté Kindle Ulimited porque estoy chapa, o leyendo a las chapas.). La siguiente, es una novela de la autora británica Gretta Mulrooney que es como especialista en thrillers y tiene esta detective (Siv Drummond) de la que sacó su segunda novela, que es la que me toca reseñar en inglés como siempre.
Ahora, la reseña en inglés:
I want to
thanks #Netgalley and the publisher for the copy in exchange for an honest
review.
Can a woman
vanish into thin air? It’s 2013 and we witnesses the last time Adam, a nine
year old kid, watches her mother, Lyn Dimas, go to the groceries and never came
back.
Six years
later, a body is found in a demolition site, in which they’re going to build
new apartments. Detective Siv Drummond and her team get themselves a cold case
who turned up to be murder. The body of
Lyn Dimas is found out tied up in a back of an old fridge in an abandoned place
and re opens the investigation of the disappearance of Mrs. Dimas.
This novel
goes through the entire investigation of the case and in times, reveals the
problems of Siv and her team. Like Siv dealing with the dead of her husband or
her conflictive relationship with her mother, Mutsi.
It was a
slow reading for me, too much British slang got me in some trouble, but there’s
a glossary of terms in the end of the book that you can check out.
Is a dark
slow pace mystery that unfolds the complicated life of the Dimas. All the time I feel so sorry about Adam and
him carrying the fault of something he couldn’t avoid.
It was grim
but yet interesting, sometimes there was just to many interrogations going on.
Is like long version of one of those dramatic detective’s TV show like Vera.
The pace was a little bit to slow for me, I’m get used to to fast thrillers but
it was a nice reading.
For me is a
three stars reading (I was pondering four since is three and a half actually).
The motive and the discovery at the end it was OK but it was my first suspect
since the beginning even if there is many others who had stronger motive to
kill Lyn.
Ideal for
fans of Wallander and such who wants a female and not so likeable (she is a bit
too moody and gloom because of the grief and her job basically) older police
detective.
Quiero cerrar escribiendo que por estos lares es el DIA DE LA MADRE y DE LA FAMILIA. Quiero saludar a mi madre y a mi familia que esta siempre al pie del cañón para apoyarme en las diferentes decisiones y etapas de mi vida. En especial a mi tía, ahora que mi abuela nos mira del cielo, porque es una leona que me banca en todas.
