3,4 of 5 stars!
I remembered buy this books since the tite itself already reveals what horrible the story is. Can you imagine an 16-years-old young man murdered his mother, father and also his sister and he doesn't any guilty feeling? This pieces is about how fucked up the criminality in juarez city and even the police can't do anything. Vicente feels he wil be safe since he know he can't being punished. many people disappeared since the city also full of mafia and trading some narcotics too.
This books is really makes me shocked since i never expect the motive behind from Vicente. The ending also tragic you need prepare your heart is to finish this books until the last page
Thankyou Versobooks!

It's important when reading this not to get too caught up into comparisons with Capote's In Cold Blood. While Nieto recreates the murder itself, there was little the police needed to do before arresting Vicente and his accomplices.
What is central to this is the culture existing in Juarez both at the time and subsequently. The violence and corruption is astonishing and the story ultimately comes full circle.
This is a terrific analysis of a city under siege, thought-provoking and brilliant. An excellent read

"An analysis of the Juárez femicides, published in 2010 by the Catalonia Office for Peace and Human Rights, argued that the “institutionalized apathy toward the murders” is itself a mechanism for structural violence that trivializes attacks on the community and, through its constancy, naturalizes and normalizes acts of aggression."

I really have nothing much to say. There isn’t enough here to constitute a book being written. It’s not really about Vincente, it’s not insightful or intriguing, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it. It’s a drag to push through and just feels needless needless needless
