So, one more title to emphasize the lesson in ‘careful with your expectations'. Because The housemaid was just so absurdly good, I obviously expected this one to be so. Bear no mistake, it is good. But not absurdly good, maybe.
She still has the makings of throwing red herrings properly: even when you ‘know' what's happening/going to happen, I can tell you you're probably going to be mistaken - I was, once again. But be it because now I know her style a bit or because the characters were not so interesting, it was less surprising and sounded less brilliant.
That said, it is a solid 3.5 stars, that I read in two hours and had a bit of a surprise when you thought there were no more - and I'll still read other titles by her.
