Bomba vine la final. Și da, am avut oarece bănuieli despre suspectul principal. Dar totul se învârte la un moment dat că nu mai știi ce să crezi. Și când crezi că ai descoperit misterul, bam! De fapt adevarul este altul! Rămân la ideea ca "psihopatii" arata de fapt a oameni normali. Lucru confirmat de acest roman. Mi-a plăcut, a fost alert, mi-a oferit multe piste și mă bucur că l-am descoperit. Personajul meu preferat este Alicia. Daca nu ați citit încă acest roman, va rog sa o faceți. Este o l

Solid, quick read about a woman who is accused of killing her husband and then stops speaking. She is being treated by a psychotherapist who is determined to help her speak again. Some good twists and turns here.
I would recommend this book. It's a quick, engaging read, which readers of this genre will likely enjoy. ...more

3.5 stars from me! But I rounded it to 4 stars because I quite enjoyed reading this book.

I don't complain about the twist, it's pretty decent, but the ending is a bit rushing in my opinion. Michaelides can explore more about the unclear details mentioned by some of the characters, but he jumped ...more

It was a definite page turner but it lacked real depth. Short chapters and the pace moved. A lot of twists and turns and the ending completely surprised me but it will not it be a memorable book for me. For me, it felt a little contrived.
Wow! Finished another thriller today where I didn’t see the ending coming! Listened to this one on audio and it was a slow starter for me but by the time I got 1/3 in, I was hooked! Apparently the author was previously a screenwriter and you can tell, I think this would make a great movie or short series. I’ll definitely read more by Michaelides.
