Ediciones B Reina Roja / Red Queen

He leído este libro y desde la primera pagina me atrapo, me ha tenido en gran suspenso hasta terminarlo, simplemente fabuloso!

I just couldn’t put it down 🫶🏽We’ve got Antonia Scott, all genius no badge - a non-cop with a knack for diving into dark corners of the criminal brain. She’s got the genius IQ level of Edith Stern and Marilyn Vos Savant (they were an inspiration when Gómez-Jurado was creating the character), paired with her own layered backstory, making her a truly memorable character. We are also introduced to Inspector Jon Gutiérrez. He’s facing the scales of justice and those of his own weight (ha, ha - he describes himself as a big, bulky gay man). Despite their differences, Antonia and Jon strike an interesting partnership. And I found their journey quite compelling, I loved seeing how they develop their friendship and acceptance amidst such complex histories and human vulnerabilities.The novel begins with a macabre murder scene. A boy from a rich family discovered bloodless, followed by a high-ranking executive’s kidnapping. Disturbing crimes that seem connected, and behind it all? A shadowy puppeteer with a master plan. Is Antonia really the ace the police need to crack this terrifying mystery wide open?Red Queen is like a rollercoaster ride through a hall of mirrors - with all the twists and turns you would expect from a good mystery thriller. It has been compared to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and I can see why. This is just a good, though quite different From an explosive action sequence painting a raw, detailed picture to a nerve-wracking encounter in Madrid’s qanat, the balance among character, plot, and setting … I found it really amazing.🎢A story is set the heart of Madrid, and it is the perfect kickoff for the upcoming trilogy by Gómez-Jurado. I really can’t wait to join Antonia and Jon on their thrilling adventures! I’ve also read that there is a Prime series in the making!Nick Caistor’s translation captures the essence, humor, and complexities of these diverse characters beautifully.
