Saint is the responsible one, the one who would do almost anything to help his family. Lola is the warrior, the social worker who's ready to fight against the guy she still loves. Plus there's the Abuelo, my favourite character. A well plotted and fast-paced novel that talks about a second-chance love story but also about gentrification and the less lucky. Read it and have fun Highly recommended. Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Molly's character arc is very interesting as thereI thoroughly enjoyed this whodunit and was happyt to catch up with Molly, her friends and her world. Molly's character arc is very interesting as there's an evolution and a more mature woman who's dealing with work responisbilities and a romantic relationship. There's a lot to love in this story as it's a solid mystery full of surprises. It's entertaining, kept me guessing and turning pages. I think it could become a nice cozy mystery series but the risk is that each plot is based on a template and you know what will happen and how the plot will evolve. The Maid and this novel share some similarities in the plot and I thoroughly enjoyed it but I'm also wondering what could be a new novel featuring Molly and not repeating some elements. That said I have high expectations for the next novels by this author and the storytelling is excellent. Recommended. Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine...more

I think this is an excellent mix of noir, psychological thriller and description of the world of theatre. I wasn't a fan of Vivian but appreciated how I think this is an excellent mix of noir, psychological thriller and description of the world of theatre. I wasn't a fan of Vivian but appreciated how the author developed this complex, frail and grieven character who's trying to stop feeling and uses theatre obsession, drugs and alcohol. It's not a fast paced and action packed thriller, it's a slow burning story that keeps you on the edge because you want to know what happened and what will happen. The author is a good storyteller and I think this is a recommended read Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine...more
