Thank God, for the word dwarf there is no euphemism or neoterm that could seem opportune for "neo" to censor the title of this novel. Sounds great to me, if the dwarf is lucky, let it be known.
Joking apart, in this novel by a Perez Gellida that mutates from Jo nesbo a John Gomez Jurado With fascinating ability, we enjoy that well-known ability of this Valladolid writer for continuous surprise. Surprise from the transformation of reality into a dark trompe l'oeil, disturbingly plausible and magnetic.
We know that nothing of the narrative happens (although worse things can always happen). And yet we get to 100, very hot, as soon as Gellida puts us in flour with her underworlds, her criminal plots and her scenes at times. tarantinesque. Because immediately we know that the drift of events could only be predictable if Pérez Gellida was not a fucking genius in maintaining the tension, giving scares and leaving us completely speechless.
