La autora juega con nosotros de una forma increíble hay muchos sospechosos y no sabes exactamente quién estará detrás de todos estos hechos. also shoutout to the gender roles in this book, which were truly wildin. we've got: objectification of female interviewees; objectification of female police officers; condescension/patronizing of female police officers; judgment of women based on sex life/clothing/maternity; and just really vitriolic ways of talking about women on the internet!!! Comienzo la novela con las expectativas por las nubes y enseguida me veo intentando averiguar quién se llevó a la pequeña Daisy de la barbacoa que organizaban sus padres.

BE WARNED, there are no chapters. BUT there are tons of scene breaks, and each "scene" is relatively short, which keeps the pace Usain Bolt-esque. I was tag teaming this book and Girl, Forgotten and LET ME TELL YOU, I would rather have no chapters than those long ass scenic drives Slaughter calls a chapter. Aunque intento organizar con mucha antelación mis próximas lecturas, por lo general ese cronograma resulto cambiándolo completamente en el momento menos inesperado; esto, porque he vivido múltiples experiencias en las que un libro aparece de repente ante mí, me atrae, me obsesiona, y me produce tantas ansias de leerlo que no puedo resistir y resultó devorándomelo inmediatamente, descubriendo después que mis presentimientos sí eran acertados, y que gracias a ellos he conocido una verdadera obra maestra. Esto, es lo que he sentido en esta ocasión cuando conocí un libro llamado ¿Quién se ha llevado a Daisy Mason? Por ello, me dejé guiar por una corazonada y resulté leyendo repentinamente esta obra, con altas expectativas. No obstante, esa corazonada, me ha fallado en esta oportunidad.Irónicamente, la parte final sí me ha gustado. Esas últimas cien páginas han sido muy interesantes, y el nivel de intensidad subió lo necesario para emocionarme en esa parte, a pesar de tantos disgustos e indiferencia que sentí en gran parte del libro. Por el nivel de intensidad, pensaría que la autora primero planeó el final y poco a poco fue construyendo la historia hacia la parte inicial. Gracias a esa sección, y a Daisy, siento que no perdí completamente el tiempo leyendo esta historia. Eso sí, ya he decidido que no continuaré la saga. Existen muchos autores y libros sobre el género por conocer, y solo tengo una vida, por lo que me parece más importante descubrir diferentes prosas, que buscar en un segundo, tercer o cuarto libro de esta autora, lo que seguramente no encontraré. Daisy Mason inexplicably disappears during her parents costume party at their home. She’s only 8-years old so the case is given high level importance and captures the attention of the media, as well as everyone within their reach. The twisty twist was good for sure. She took a pretty straightforward story but added her own touch to it. I'm a hoe for a trapped in the basement but now she's not vibe but I like that Hunter did something unique with it. A girl and her child imprisoned in a basement, the disappearance of a young mother that has confounded the local authorities for the last few years, having all the hallmarks of a cold case. My biggest issue is with Daisy. Not in the way you may think, but it bothered me how she came across when she spoke. There were times she seemed her age, but more times than not she sounded like an adult. My other issue is the final reveal. I felt it came out of nowhere and wasn't particularly necessary.

Es una novela de casi quinientas páginas que devoras sin casi percatarte. Ya el inicio te atrapa con ese insólito descubrimiento y las terribles consecuencias que traerá consigo. Ingeniously plotted, brilliantly put together, incredible to experience. This is truly irresistible thriller writing' - B.P. Walter Al igual que en la primera parte, en esta segunda entrega me ha vuelto a encantar tanto la estructura como su historia y el ritmo tan cinematográfico que tiene.other. Doesn’t matter how many times you do it, you never get used to it. And when you do, it’s time to quit. Además como en su anterior novela, la lectura contiene fragmentos de notas de prensa, mensajes, correos, declaraciones...etc; que hace que leas en un suspiro. Adam and his team become embroiled in the tensions and awkward relationships that exist within the Mason family and strange and unsettling details soon begin to emerge.

I really appreciated this aspect of "In The Dark" and felt it really brought a human touch to the whole proceedings. Barry’s grown-up son from a previous marriage dupes him cruelly and leaves his dad in a right mess by the end – though you can’t help feeling the buffoon deserves it.I like the inclusion of Fawley’s personal life. It’s not overshadowing of the plot and helps us to understand his character a lot more. If it was expanded on any more, it might be bothersome. It’s just enough to add to his character and not get in the way of the plot. The characters feel realistic, while not being perfect. They each have their own set of flaws. I especially enjoy Fawley, Quinn, and Somer.

Al estar plagada de diálogos la historia fluye sola. Y al igual que ya hizo en su primera novela, la narración vendrá intercalada con fragmentos de interrogatorios a los sospechosos, planos, listado de pruebas, cronología de los hechos, noticias, correos electrónicos entre los que llevan el caso con pistas reveladoras... esto ayuda mucho a ubicarnos dentro de la historia y aporta un gran dinamismo al hacernos partícipes de lo que nos cuenta. Three of the girls are in front of the long mirror, lavishly admiring themselves. A pink princess, a flower, a butterfly.

En esta historia nos encontraremos con un inicio muy potente. Encuentran a una chica encerrada en un sótano con un niño. En esa casa vive un anciano con claros síntomas de demencia. ¿Qué ha pasado? El anciano está claro que no está en sus cabales, pero....esa chica no lleva ahí dos días. Would recommend to all those who love police procedurals and especially if you love use of mixed media. The second in the DI Adam Fawley series gets off to a riveting start, with the discovery of a young woman and a child in the cellar of a former academic (who incidentally exhibits all the signs of dementia). It seems that they have been held captive, and the woman in particular is in a bad way, unable even to speak, such is the level of her trauma. Investigations demonstrate links to a missing girl two years previously, (and how DI Fawley and his team painstakingly identify the dots that join the two is just ingenious)! In December 2003, Luke Ryder was found dead in the garden of the family home in London, leaving behind a wealthy older widow and three stepchildren. Nobody saw anything. I really enjoyed this one! The mixed media in this is nothing like I've read before and it really made it a stand out for me - there are interview transcripts, tweets, media articles, letters and all in differing texts and styles and that is a win!
