Recensioni

Solito pallosissimo giallo di Deaver, di cui ho apprezzato solo poche opere.
Trama inverosimile, dove i buoni vincono sempre, finale aperto per un seguito.
Da non acquistare!!!

Dopo tante delusioni con i libri di Deaver (autore comunque sopravvalutatissimo!) questo giallo mi è invece piaciuto, non tanto per la trama quanto per la costruzione rovesciata, dove si inizia con la "fine" della storia e si prosegue fino all'inizio.
In ogni caso, ad ogni capitolo, si scopre che nulla è ciò che sembra, che in fondo è la regola numero uno dei gialli!

Il racconto tiene, la lettura è piacevole, ma tutto sommato piuttosto inutile. Letteratura di puro svago.

Deaver è sempre Deaver. Questo non è un giallo, forse neppure un thriller, ma un trascinante viaggio nelle menti dei protagonisti e nei loro rapporti (passati e presenti) condotto con maestria da un narratore affascinante.
