The most unsuspected blackness as a literary argument already happens in reality, in front of our noses. That's where he got Toni Hill this novel full of crudeness and that strange lyricism that accompanies our deepest contradictions between goodness and pettiness of the soul.
An intriguing and disturbing novel about hypocrisy, friendship, immigration and privilege, written with a brilliant pulse by one of the most innovative authors of the black genre in Spain.
It seems like an ordinary winter Friday; one of some. Lourdes Ros, the charismatic editor of a prestigious publishing house, is preparing to receive her best friends, whom she has invited to dinner: four successful women who try to combine their renowned professional life with the concerns derived from their age, their partner, their children or loss of social status.
But the meeting will not be as fun as they hoped since the memory of a young woman whom everyone knew, an immigrant who was working in their homes and who committed suicide, unexpectedly, a year ago begins to plan. Little by little, the five of them are intuiting that Teresa's tragic death could become a threat that uncovers her most hidden secrets, her prejudices and her weaknesses.
And, when a new crime shakes their lives, they will no longer be able to deny that behind the fences of their beautiful properties hides someone who is capable of killing so that the truth never comes out. So that Teresa Lanza's death continues to be an unfathomable mystery.
Death is not always the end of a story; sometimes it's just a disturbing new beginning.
