a good gripping crime book that has very brutal scenes and moments in it.

for me this second installment wasn’t as good as the first, mostly because the themes i enjoyed and found so gripping in the first one -how scary the internet can be, how it can be used against you and without your knowledge always be a way to were you are at any given moment- felt a bit recycled since they appeared yet again in this one.


i also did not appreciate how the kids behaved in this book.
at all!

they where not babies when their dad was discovered as a mass murderer! the youngest was 7 or 8! you remember from that age what happened and that your dad is a horrible person!
so i have a really hard time that a kid would really start to question if the dad is really that bad.
after living through bringen stalked and more or less chased out of places by crazy people wanting to kill your sibling and mother because of your dad and then that kid is supposed to suddenly be like “mhm... maybe it was all blown out of proportion! how bad can my dad be?”

that was just utterly stupid to me!!

i also didn’t like the yet again doubts against gwen were yet again raised with things that should have been cleared up and done with long before this book and even before the second half in the first book at the latest!
but still it was yet again brought up over and over again.

in a way i get what the author tries with this.
that people have a really hard time trusting you if your chosen partner is a bad person.

which for me is utterly stupid and makes absolutely no sense!
if you have nothing to do with something bad that is happening and don’t even know about it, you are not responsible!!
if you know about it and don’t do anything? you are responsible!
if you know about it and help in any way? you are responsible!
but if you don’t know anything?? how can it be your fault??

it just drives me a bit mad especially if it being kept brought up and i just want to shake and scream at everyone to stop being stupid!

so in one hand the author clearly manages to create a good amount of emotions with me, at the other hand not the best way to draw a reader in if they want to become violent with the characters?


overall this is a good enough crime book but not exactly a great one.

i hope the next one will be actually a different story and plot line instead of a recap of the first book again.
