Excellent read. I like the way the author interspersed the main story with supposed BBC reports, statements and Twitter exchanges as it makes the book exceptionally current.

One statement was a little hard to read due to the font used, and there are a whole host of police characters to get to grips with, but overall a good story.

I actually liked the first book better (Close to Home), but this one was also good. Perhaps because I was blown away by the surprise ending of the first book I was expecting the twists, but I also had a harder time keeping some of these characters straight. Good overall!

Aviso: esta novela toca muchos temas delicados y fuertes.

"El sótano de Oxford" es como un capítulo muy largo de esa serie de crímenes que mirabas en la televisión por la tarde.
Todo empieza cuando una pareja está haciendo reformas en la casa que se acaban de comprar en un barrio medio-alto en Oxford, y por error agujerean una de las paredes del sótano que da a otra casa. Lo que no se esperaban es que hubiera alguien al otro lado.

Con este inicio, la policia va a ir a la casa en cuestión. Se trata de la casa del viejo y demente William Harper, un señor muy mayor que vive solo y le da a la bebida. En casa del señor Harper van a encontrar una habitación cerrada en su sótano, con una joven encerrada. Pero no está sola, también van a encontrar a su bebé de casi 3 años ahí dentro con ella.

De este modo empieza la historia, con un secuestro con móvil sexual y algunas similitudes a un caso antiguo en el que desapareció una mujer 2 años antes, Hannah Gardiner.

No voy a revelar nada más de la trama, ya que me parece que es mejor sin saber nada. Cabe decir que hay spoilers del primer libro "¿Quién se ha llevado a daisy Mason?" (que son casos independientes, pero con los mismos inspectores).

Me ha parecido una buena lectura. Si bien no le daré 5⭐️ porque me ha parecido que hay tantos personajes y tantas 'subtramas' (o escenas distintas) que corren en paralelo que a veces te quedas muy a medias en la que estás leyendo y hace sentir que estorba la lectura.
Es un libro bastante completo, que usa recursos como noticia o interrogatorios en formatos que hacen muy sencillo imaginarte las situaciones. Los personajes me han parecido bien construidos y bien montados, todo el mundo tiene sus ideales y sus motivaciones.

Muy recomendado, aunque toca muchos temas muy fuertes.

i literally have no words to describe the love and obsession i have for this series and i'm still only on the second book. i can't stop reading because i'm always anxious to know what will happen next. this book definitely left me shocked with the ending and i can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
