Que deprimencia de libro. Hasta tal punto de que ni había venido a marcarlo como leído cuando lo termine. Y de eso hace más de un mes. ¿Pero quién me manda a mí comprar un libro donde sale prominentemente un perro? Alicia G.B escribe bien pero no pienso leer ni un solo libro suyo más. Cada vez que veo su nombre me recuerda el mal gusto que me ha dado leer los pormenores de los CABRONAZOS que pueblan esta novela.

Y de Fermín ni hablemos.


Yo vengo a leer novelas para entretenerme, no para que me recuerden lo mierda que es el mundo y la gente que vive en él, que para ya me vale con el día a día.

Mierda de review, mierda de mundo.

Wonderful. Sharply observed and well-written with confident, nuanced characterizations. This series is fantastic -- not only is a good cop series, but it's one with a prickly, opinionated, multi-faceted central character who happens to be a woman.

Sigo enamorada del personaje de Petra y por supuesto del su viejo compañero Fermín, son un encanto, me reí mucho con sus peripecias.

READ IN DUTCH

When I first came across this book, I thought: Spanish detective, that's new for me. I can't really say I'm a big dog lover, but I was interested because it was Spanish.



I liked the Spanish influences, it's different from a Scandinavian, British or American detective. Different is interesting, as I think not enough Southern European authors are being translated.

This book wasn't completely working for me though. As a detective I thought it was a bit disappointing, but I liked the main characters.

I recently learned that this is actually the second book in the Petra Delicado series, but I've never heard anything about a Dutch translation of the first novel. I always think it's such a shame if publishers don't start with the first book.

tīri lasāms, izklaidējošs krimiķis, gana interesants, lai par pusstundu atliktu gulētiešanas laiku. valoda liekas nedaudz prasta, iespējams, tāpēc kā stāstījums no galvenās varones un viņai tāds vienkāršs dzīves skatījums.
