The suspense and tension kept me reading this one. A classic who dunnit although the who was a bit underwhelming, but at least not predictable (in my opinion). I enjoyed the multiple characters because it keeps things interesting. I didn’t love any of the characters though, they all seemed a bit annoying as if I was with them in that Inn I would’ve been irritated, but perhaps that also keeps things interesting. Little bit of a twist at the end, separate from the main plot which was fun although I’m not sure how necessary it was. 

Overall 2.5, but rounded to 3 after thinking about it. Quick and easy read if you’re looking for a thriller you can finish in a short time.

Shari Lapena es de mis autoras favoritas, definitivamente. Amo todo lo que leo de ella y quiero seguir leyendo todo lo que escriba. 

Al inicio me costó avanzar, muy introductorio pero es justificable que así sea por la cantidad de personajes que nos presentan de una, pero luego de eso la historia fluye super rápido.

Leí por ahí que este libro haría sentir orgullosa a Agatha Christie y yo también lo creo, normalmente cuando leo libros de thriller no suelo teorizar tanto, pero con este terminé haciendo anotaciones sobre los hechos y sospechosos porque estaba demasiado enganchada y no quería perderme ningún detalle. Obviamente no logré adivinar a tiempo jajaj, pero disfruté demasiado la lectura.
