Me encantó y amé a los personajes, muy agradables y lindas personas, ya quiero leer el de sus vacaciones en el balneario de las que se habló tanto.

Lo único malo fue la traducción literal de los títulos que me revelaba cosas desde un inicio, pero eso no es su culpa.

A great short story, if a bit predictable (For me, maybe, I've read so many Mary Higgins Clark books!). I enjoyed it.

Novela muy corta sobre un asesinato en Nueva York. Muy recomendable para las mañanas de verano en las que se quiere lectura fácil 🫶🏻
