José Luis Romero gives us a thriller incipient course with all the typical ingredients of it. Set in Barcelona business reflects the decadent bourgeoisie and their sad efforts to remain in power who falls.
But let's get on with it is crime fiction and identifying marks in the title: first find the use of chiaroscuro in the atmosphere much like the characters, the night, their invisibility and hidden shoals of reality, as the actors often appear contradictory in his actions, which leads to the second element: the sham, nobody is who they seem, or hide your cards or bluffing will never know what role each person plays to the end. Abundant body and facial language, Romero describes the gestures, grimaces and movements of the characters that teach us as much as their dialogue. In much of the novel talk or discussion between two or more persons; dialogues in which abundant nerve, irony, turns of phrase, the plain language, vulgar and rude. There are many situations politically incorrect, biased, in which the characters express their views openly. Add also the mystery that seems to bind continually, but in the end flows in torrents.
narrator's voice in the hands of the protagonist focuses attention on himself and ducks have different perspectives of reality.
But all these building materials black innate gender would be useless without the willingness on the stage of the writer. Everything is measured correctly, its characters, situations and transverse direct the decoration of the streets, squares and typical where you draw the profile of this novel research to solve a murder shrouded in mystery.
Overall a nice job, quick to read, light and easy to digest. As the expert training that will allow the enjoyment of this genre in its purest and hard and the uninitiated will serve as a great introduction.
