Reseñas de la Crítica

"As a writer, Carrère is straight berserk; as a storyteller he is so freakishly talented, so unassuming in grace and power that you only realize the hold he's got on you when you attempt to pull away. You say: True crime and literature? I don't believe it. I say: Believe it." (Junot Díaz)

"Mesmerising." ( Sunday Telegraph)

"Stunning." ( Evening Standard)

Ambiguous and very empty

Wouldn’t reccomend, felt it lacking of many things, this is not a psychological thriller ok
