There is a kind of worldwide literary conspiracy to bring out the role of women as the new emblem of the main character of the crime novels. Police inspectors have given way to them, to show that they can be wiser, finer and more methodical when it comes to uncovering a murder. And it's not bad at all. It was about time that literature started to catch up a bit.

I don't know what was before, yeah «The Invisible Guardian"To Dolores Redondo, or the "I'm not a monster"To Carme Chaparro or many other cases beyond our borders. The point is that women have come to stay in the crime novel, as the protagonist and / or author.

In this case the author is Robert, a young Londoner which has also joined the new literary trend. In this play the police in question is called Erika Foster, who will have to face a rugged case in which a young woman appears dead and frozen, under a layer of ice that presents her as in a macabre mirror.

The important thing in any crime novel is that from the starting point, usually a murder, the plot invites you to advance down a dark, sometimes unsettling path. A space where you live with the characters and learn about the dark ins and outs of society, its most sordid aspects, those that also serve to turn each character that appears into a new suspect.

Robert quickly manages to throw that rope that he catches in this type of novels, which at the moment seems to tighten your neck but that you can never stop reading.

As usually happens in these works, as Erika approaches the murderer, we feel the sword of Damocles hanging over her, over her life put at stake in the resolution of the case. And then they appear, as almost always in this genre, Erika's personal ghosts, hells and demons. And you, as a reader, feel the anxiety to discover that the only character who transmits some humanity in a dark world, is also threatened.

The ending, as always in the crime novel, surprising, culminating in an impeccable development where everything fits with that mastery of the good crime novel writer.
