About the author
Gregg Dunnett
38 books494 followersGregg Dunnett is a British author writing psychological thrillers and stories about travel and adventure, usually with a connection to the coast or to the oceans. Before turning to novels he worked as a journalist for ten years on a windsurfing magazine, briefly owned a sailing school in Egypt, taught English in Thailand, Portugal, Turkey and Italy, taught sailing in Greece and Spain, and also had several rather duller jobs along the way.
His brother is the adventurer Jono Dunnett who in 2015 windsurfed alone and unsupported around the entire coastline of Great Britain, and who is currently windsurfing around the coastline of Europe.
Gregg lives in Bournemouth on the south coast of England with his partner Maria. They have two young children, Alba and Rafa, for whom the phrase “Daddy's working” has absolutely no effect.
Gregg's debut novel was an Amazon top 100 best seller in the UK and was downloaded over a quarter of a million times.
Gregg on why he writes:
"I’ve always wanted to do two things in life, to write, and to have adventures. When I was a kid I imagined grand affairs. Kayaking across Canada, cycling to Australia. Whole summers in the Arctic. Did it happen? Well, partly.
I’ve been lucky, I spent some years abroad teaching English. I worked in sailing schools in Greece and Spain. I really lucked out with a job testing windsurfing boards for the magazine I grew up reading. I made a questionable decision (ok, a bad decision) to buy a windsurfing centre in Egypt. I’ve also done my fair share of less exciting jobs. Packing and stacking potatoes on a farm, which got me fitter than I’ve ever been in my life. I did a few years in local government which taught me that people really do have meetings that result only in the need for more meetings, and they really do take all afternoon. I spent a pleasant few months in a giant book warehouse, where I would deliberately get lost among the miles of shelves unpacking travel guides and daydreaming. I’ve done a bit of writing too, at least I learned how to write. Boards Magazine isn’t well known (it doesn’t even exist today) but it did have a reputation for being well written and I shoe-horned articles in my own gonzo journalism style on some topics with the most tenuous of links to windsurfing. But the real adventures never came. Nor did the real writing.
Then, in 2015, my brother announced he was going to become the first person to windsurf alone around Great Britain. I don’t know why. Apparently it was something he’d always wanted to do (news to me). It was a proper adventure. It was dangerous, it was exciting. Even before he set off he was interviewed on TV, in the papers etc... Some people thought he was reckless, some thought he was inspirational. Lots of people thought he’d fail.
But he didn’t. He made it around. He even sailed solo from Wales to Ireland, the first to make the crossing without the aid of a safety boat. I was lucky enough to be involved in a planning level, and take part in a few training sails, and the last leg of the trip. But he did ninety nine percent of it on his own. One step at a time, just getting on with it. That was quite inspiring.
In a way it inspired me to pull my finger out. I’d been writing novels - or trying to write novels - then for a few years. But it was touch and go as to whether I was going to be one of those ‘writers’ with a half-finished novel lost on a hard drive somewhere, rather than someone who might actually manage to finish the job.
I’ve now got two lovely, highly demanding children, so real adventures are hard right now. I still try to get away when I can for nights out in the wilds rough camping, surf trips sleeping in the van, windsurfing when the big storms come. I love adventures with the kids too.
I hope in time to get around to a few real adventures. I want to sail across an ocean. I want to bike across a continent. I definitely want to spend more time surfing empty waves.

Increíble
Este libro me encantó totalmente, desde hace tiempo quería leer que mostrará cómo era Sterling al elegir a las víctimas. Y debo decir que tuve un momento de duda (cuándo se mostraba preocupado por Erica).
También me la pasé enojada no quería saber de Golding y su croissant.
Sobre Sterling y Jenna fue la verdad asqueroso y preocupante señor, usted es un viejo guardese. Lo otro que no me gustó fue cómo terminó la cuestión del trabajo para Erica porque es una lástima, es la mejor inspectora de allí (si, hizo cosas fuera del reglamento pero bueno a ella nadie nunca le cree) Que buena historia.

La más floja de la serie. Buena idea, pero muy monótona.

The author obviously was tired of the character of Erica Sands but wanted to finish the series, so he decided instead to change the main character of the book, and write about her psychopath father instead, the serial killer. It's like if JK Rowling after five Harry Potter books decides that the next one is going to be from Voldemort's perspective. Absolutely nonsense.
The father's character is boring and doesn't really make any sense, it's like the author googled "how to write an evil person" and stuck to that. The motivations are absolutely unclear, the personality is confusing and the worst of all: it's really boring. Like, do we *really* need three chapters of this guy just following a girl?!
And the murders... it's a serial killer, for god's sake! Make a bit of research about them!
***SPOILER ALERT FROM NOW ON**
The first murder: a guy who is rude to a girl in a café. Okay, I guess the serial killer wants to be a superhero that does justice? He follows him to another country (really??), cuts his head while he's alive and then goes back and murders his wife too ?? What's the point of that if the murder is just for justice? Is it to show us that the killer doesn't need any reasons to kill because he's just EVIL™?
Then he goes to a restaurant , gets an expensive meal and murders the cooks because they say that they feed the food to the homeless but in reality, they throw it in the trash. Okay, the superhero again. But then he cuts their leg and arm, as a metaphor because they forced him to pay for the meal and it was very expensive (it costs "an arm and a leg")... so, what's the motivation? Superhero or no motivation at all? EVIL™ again.
I could continue analysing the rest of the book and the murders, but the truth is that I'm bored of remembering it.
It's a bad and pointless book.

Esperé por la conclusión de la saga y estuve pendiente de que saliera la dama, y que se iba retrasando su lanzamiento, esperaba mucho está historia por como fueron las 3 anteriores y me cuestionó si era necesario alargarla a esta cuarta... Estuvo muy lenta, capítulos innecesarios y aburridos a mi parecer, si bien estuvo centrado en el papá para el cierre, la protagonista perdió el brillo, Erica merecía una mejor historia para la culminación de la saga.

La Dama le robó la emoción de esta serie de libros. . .
Había adorado esta historia hasta que se prolongó con La Dama (perdiendo su esencia y emoción} se siente más como un intentó de prolongar una historia que estaba lista para un final increíble lleno de su característica emoción.
En la intención de llegar hasta este último libro, La Dama, fue un libro aburrido en el que se notó el esfuerzo de prolongar una serie de libros que había sido fantástica.

Al fin llegó.... bueno no espere mucho; creo que en agosto u octubre fue que leí el último. Éste me tenia preocupada desde el principio yo decía: "no puede ser, muerta, la mató, que hdp, etc" y me estresaba que nadie lo podría atrapar, pero me equivoque, si hubo alguien más que lo trapo y fue más lista que él. me gustó mucho y me engancho desde el primer libro. 👌🏻
