Goodreads review by Tessa on March 27, 2020

Anne Holt este o autoare cu reputatie internationala, asadar si asteptarile de la carte au fost mari. Orice roman politist are la baza desfasurarea anchetei ce duce spre aflarea adevarului sau prinderea faptasului. Ori tocmai aici romanul este foarte slab.

Deși primul volum mi-a plăcut tare mult, acesta nu a reușit să mă captiveze vreun pic. L-am dus cu greu la final și m-a enervat continuu. Frate, n-a avut zvac si niciun chichirez... Muuuuulta vorbărie... Personajele (deși în mare parte aceleasi), acum mi s au parut imbecile. Poate n am avut eu stare......more
