Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. La primera de las muertes que ocurren en este libro es, sin duda, un suicidio: Bernie Pryde se dispara un tiro y deja a su joven socia Cordelia Gray como propietaria única de una agencia de detectives privados. También le deja una misión llena de riesgos: reabrir la investigación sobre la muerte de un estudiante de Cambridge, Mark Callender. Cordelia ingresa así en el ámbito de Cambridge: estudiantes que llevan vidas donde se mezclan el refinamiento y el exotismo de las costumbres y las pasiones más violentas. Leisurely but exceptionally engrossing story of Cordelia Gray, who proves the books title wrong in so many ways. It isn't so much the case itself, although it is interesting enough, but it is the way Ms. Gray uses her own unconventional upbringing, superior intelligence, and lessons learned from her deceased mentor to figure out the truth behind the suicide of a student who left Cambridge to become a gardener, while interacting with an intriguing cast of complex, well-drawn characters. It goes without saying that James could write circles around most people, and she certainly did here. I'm hooked and can't want to see what the admirable Ms. Gray is up to next. (The audiobook is very well read and highly recommended.) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The mystery itself was not mysterious enough for me. And the problem was not in the novel itself. From the very beginning, I started noticing some similarities to [b:The Cuckoo's Calling|16160797|The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike, #1)|Robert Galbraith|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1540217136l/16160797._SY75_.jpg|22002305] by [a:Robert Galbraith|383606|Robert Galbraith|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]. The office seemed similar, the way of investigating the crime and even
