The majority of this story thus takes place in a closed session, set up by Lydia, the woman sexy and flamboyant, cruel and Machiavellian, but also fragile and tormented by a dark past. This closed-door is very effective for storytelling: highly oppressive and scary in a dark atmosphere, wet and pallid.

In short, let us return to the plot, it's still more interesting than talking about syntax and grammar! As in any thriller worthy of the name, the reader can not help but make a list of suspects, between the lines to find cleverly scattered clues' scaffolded but all theories are of course far from the truth, which is discovered in the last pages.
