Lo que iba a ser un verano tranquilo en compañÃa de viejos amigos, se va a convertir en un pesadilla autodestructiva. Bonnie está sola en el apartamento de su amiga. ¿Qué hacer? ¿Cómo ha llegado a esto? Todo empezó ese mismo verano en que se reunió con su vieja banda de música. Un grupo que han sido amigos durante años, y que, sin embargo, guardan para sà secretos inconfesables. ¿Quién es más peligroso? ¿Un rival, un amigo... o un amante? The story starts with Bonnie Graham standing in the apartment of a friend. In front of her lies the corpse of her lover. Then the story skips back and forth between the events before the murder and the time immediately afterwards. In the chapters about the events leading to the murder Bonnie forms a band in order to play at her friends wedding. We learn a lot about the relationship between these characters. Many of them seem to have a motive for the murder or had problems with the victim. The chapters taking part after the murder deal with the same characters, trying to cover and protect each other while not knowing who really committed the crime. I liked the book, although I sometimes felt the urge to shout at the characters for behaving so stupid. Although I suspected the real murderer quite early in the After chapters, it was fascinating to gain small bits of information in each chapter forming the whole picture at the end. I was a bit disappointed by the motive, though. Overall, the book is a capturing thriller, focussing on problematic relationships between the main characters. The story toggles before and after which makes it a little harder to grasp for me. It picked up pace towards the end with the answers like an open book. Surprised yet not as surprised, without the gritty element. Here's my full review: http://www.sholee.net/2017/05/mpov-complicit.html sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Told in alternating timeframes – before and after the murder – you get the events leading up to the murder and everything that happened afterward.
Well-written but a bit predictable. ( )
