flaviasantos's review against another edition

4.0

Foi um pouco diferente do outro livro mas achei muito gostoso. A viagem pra África, bem detalhada, com personsagens secundários interessantes, a Maud sendo Maud, e uma vibe bem "whodunnit", meio Morte no Nilo, se encaixou bem e me agradou muito. O desfecho pra todas as dúvidas de Maud também fez sentido e foi satisfatório - ainda que um tico perfeito demais, mas bom pra uma leitura leve e não realista desde sempre.

i like this movement of the story outside of sweden. this book is mostly flashbacks to things Maud has done and are weighing on her conscious as she heads to south Africa. she really knows how to use the old lady card to get her out of trouble.

Spoiler

she ends the story doing some good deeds and helps out two families in South Africa and it makes me like her more. I've never had to call my bank to do big international transactions but i feel like i wouldn't even know what to ask for. but her bank complies and she ends up planning a move to Cape Town
