I really enjoyed this book! Although I find the main "twist" a little random, the story was quite interesting. The main character has WAY more grace than I do; I would not have forgiven my best friend for

drugging me explicitly against my consent.

Lo más. Me encantan las historias de detectives porque puedo jugar a ser uno junto con el prota, y a esta historia no le falta ni un detalle. Es perfecta para que le deis vueltas a la cabeza intentando averiguar quién es el asesino. No ha habido más de 2 minutos que me haya aburrido leyendo esto.
Además, tiene esa parte emocional que tanto te hace conectar con los personajes y con sus historias. 
Simplemente, un 10. Seguiré leyendo los libros de esta autora.

• The rating is based on audiobook. Changes are the reading experience could be better. The narrator  was not bad but there were moments in the book about tough life events and the characters reaction to them seemed a bit superficial which was quite strange. I am not sure if it was the audio or how they were really writen.
