About this deal
There is a briskness to her, both in person and on the page, that I associate, perhaps wrongly, with her upbringing in Zimbabwe.
Peering into people’s houseboats – lovely, pretty ones with flower pots on the roof and solar panels, and also the ones that are sinking into the water and look as if nobody has touched them for years. She then worked for a number of publications on a freelance basis, and wrote a financial-advice book for women, The Money Goddess. Todo ello es puesto a prueba cuando Jake, su esposo, es encontrado muerto brutalmente en su residencia y a su mejor amigo, Ryan, junto a él con el arma homicida en sus manos.Teniendo en cuenta esta premisa no puedo decir que “Punto ciego” sea un novelón (es imposible que lo sea), pero si cumple con el objetivo con el que fue escrita: entretener.
Primo romanzo della Hawkins che finalmente riesco a leggere, nonostante i suoi precedenti siano in lista da quando sono usciti. As Paula Rego: Obedience and Defiance at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art was one of the last exhibitions I saw before the pandemic began, it seemed fitting that the retrospective of her work at Tate Britain should be one of the first I visited since museums and galleries opened up again. Hay cuestiones morales que se plantean muy brevemente y que podrían haber provocado debates interesantes, pero todo queda como una anécdota.So, I guess I will have to wait for the next novel written by her hand, hoping that I will soon have once again the opportunity to relish the most delightful of twisty crime/thrillers printed nowadays. Când Jake este omorât cu brutalitate imediat ce este părăsit de Edie, care nu mai suporta să stea lângă un ratat gelos, vina ajunge să cadă pe Ryan, care tocmai își programase o vizită la el acasă, dar îl descoperă mort, în timp ce Edie se refugiase deja în luxosul apartament al lui Ryan pentru a-și linge rănile și a încerca să o ia de la capăt.
En este caso la historia es más atractiva que en otros de sus libros, pero resulta complicado valorarla comparándola con ellos dada su extensión.
Su amistad parecía inquebrantable, pero cuando Jake es asesinado y Ryan es acusado del crimen, Edie, mujer del primero y mejor amiga del segundo, ve como su mundo se viene abajo. Blind Spot is easily the worst Paula Hawkins book that I have read, and it appears to be very similar in plot to another book.
