The second volume is as interesting as the first: the characters take shape, the situations are complicated, we feel the danger behind every watch page and prowling at every turn of the action. The plot, without being very subtle is sufficiently varied and well arranged so that the interest is maintained and developments and twists are numerous and sometimes surprising. There is no downtime even if the bodies are piling up. Two hours of reading in perspective. For the same translation noted that for the first volume.
