I felt bored until 60% through. 
This narrator pronounces every 'h' in a word. wHat, wHite etc. Mildly annoying. 
If that was a style choice due to the MCs middle name missing the H, then I get it.... but still.

Resumiendo,¿Sabes quién es? es un thriller con una trama de misterio muy interesante y bien llevada. Una protagonista a la que le faltó algo de profundidad y un personaje secundario muy bien llevado. Un punto de vista original y que encaja bien con la historia. Un ritmo bastante bueno excepto algunas escenas lentas. Una prosa por parte de la autora amena y unas escenas de acción trepidantes.

Why have the characters make any choices when you can just write “And she found herself unable to resist _______” and move the plot along that way?

Another great thriller from Karin Slaughter. This is a great story about the relationship of a mother and daughter how a daughter makes it possible to do things you didn't realize you could do.

This was a great book with multiple stories tied in to one. I enjoyed Karin's writing style and look forward to reading the sequel, Girl, Forgotten.

Karin Slaughter knows how to write thriller and keep a story going. Parts of the book were pure entertainment and I really like how she developed the idea of maybe not really knowing another person as well as you think you do, even your mother.

I did find the daughter, Andy, to be really tedious after a while. She was so immobilized by her normal life that when things got crazy, she tended to be immobilized frequently. I found myself impatient with not only the character, but also the author, for making me sit in her immobility for so much of the book. I also found some of the descriptive writing to be overdone, although some of it was lovely. After a while, some of the story also became very predictable. So overall, I enjoyed it, but not my favorite book of the year.
