Es una gran historia de misterio y crímen ideal si querés mejorar el inglés. Es muy disfrutable y se lee con rapidez.

In my opinion, I appreciate that the book tries to be interesting and mysterious, but I found it a little bit boring. As someone who likes reading, I think the story is too simple and doesn’t have enough development. The characters aren’t poor described, so it’s difficult to connect with them or feel anything for the story. Moreover, I think that the story is very predictable. Most of the time, you already know what is going to happen next, which makes it less exciting. However, I must say that the book is easy and fast to read. Because of that, I think it’s a good option for English learners. Also, I have to say that this was the first book I read completely in English, and it helped me learn new vocabulary.
In conclusion, I would not recommend Murder by Art to people who read a lot and want a deep, complex story. But for learners who want to practice English with an easy book, it could be a good choice.

3,5 Cumple su función, es fácil de leer y la historia es entretenida, de hecho, bastante mejor que otros que he leído de contenido similar. Además es largo, tiene una historia que se desarrolla ágil con giros argumentales, algo a agradecer. Disfruté leyéndolo.

I feel very surprised. I didn't expected much from a Cambridge book for student to be so good. That was a quick and interesting read.
