Contrapaso. Los hijos de los otros by Teresa Valero
5.0
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review
"Have you gone crazy?! If I publish this, they'll shut down the paper. You know that!"
"Yes I know that"
"Then why the hell did you write it?
"Because it's the truth."
Raw, Intense, Truthful. Those are the words I use to describe this story. With little knowledge and attracted because of the amazing cover, I went into this graphic novel hoping to discover something new.
You know what I did more than discover, I was entrapped and I just wanted to get to the end and trust me the end has put me on edge to find out what is coming the fans of Contrapaso's way. Hopefully.
The story follows a veteran journalist, Emilo Sanz and a novice journalist Lèon Lenoir who work together to uncover a murder case when a woman is found drowned with a poem carved into her abdomen.
Both men have their own deep secrets they are trying to bury and hoping to find some form of healing from.
This story will keep you gasping, screaming and almost crying because of the truth and realities of women in Madrid 1956.
I especially loved how the story dropped hints and clues, being a thriller and mystery comic, it gave everything it was meant to offer- entertainment, suspense, action, raw emotions and deep thoughts.
