A review by evangeline_miller
All Yours by Claudia Piñeiro

4.0

All Yours is a psychological thriller with some very dark comedic twists. It starts with Inés, who suspects her husband, Ernesto, is having an affair. After a suspicious late-night phone call from another woman, she secretly follows him and witnesses their argument take a deadly turn when the woman falls, hits her head—and Ernesto sinks her body in a nearby lake! No spoilers here, that’s in the book’s synopsis!

What I loved? Inés is completely delusional, and it’s both unsettling and hilarious. She’s truly the star of her own telenovela. 

“As I climbed the stairs, the box in my arms, I had a strange sensation, as if I were acting in a film with a camera following my progress, step by step. I, the protagonist, was illuminated at the centre of the screen. I even had one of those instrumental soundtracks that typically accompany a scene like this running through my head. It was weird. But I liked it.”
