At the end of this book, I was quite irritated because there were quite a few loose ends, and the mystery was never fully solved. One character has an accident and is in a coma for the entirety of the book... The entire time, I was waiting for her to wake up and for some information to be shed, but she never does, and it seems like an unnecessary plot element. I really enjoyed the book until I got to the end, at which point I was very dissatisfied.

A mystery without an ending is the definition of disappointment.

The style was a bit unclear, the writing wasn't as precise as it could have been. But still an interesting end, but it leaves you a little unsatisfied at the end. If the author is attempting an atmosphere of slight chaos, she succeeds.

Meh. Easy to read despite some of the violence. Just not a captivating ending.

Tämä on ollut näköjään tosi monta vuotta luettavien kirjojen listalla, vasta nyt sain tartuttua. Pidin tästä paljon, uskottavia ja ymmärrettäviä henkilöhahmoja ja ihmisten välisiä virityksiä. Loppuratkaisu oli kyllä vähän hämmentävä ja epämääräinen, olisin ehkä toivonut jotain selkeämpää loppua tälle sinänsä mukaansatempaavalle murhatarinalle.

I like these books but I think the translations are a bit clunky (at least I am assuming so). This has an unsettling ending, not really sure we got the right killer, but I guess that is real life.
