Disappointing. It’s starting to seem like his best books are behind him.

Sadly, I was utterly disappointed by this book. Couldn't pinpoint why per se, but it was overall more of a thriller than of a mystery. The descriptions of the places and the environment, although quite helpful when it came to imagining the decor, were very tedious to get through, since they mostly occurred in the beginnings of different chapters (considering that the chapter before that ended in a cliffhanger). That took away both the excitement and the shock factor. There was also a problem with me empathizing with the characters. To be completely honest, I only enjoyed the story of Ana's past (if you know, you know), and that went for like 20 pages out of a 400-page book, so that says enough.

Very disappointing, thought his Lewis trilogy was wonderful, this has none of the atmosphere and reads as a mundane Costa thriller.
