About this listen

Hailed as a "clever, chilling novel that takes crime writing to a new level" by London's Sunday Times, this psychological thriller from Guillermo Martínez will captivate mystery lovers and literature buffs alike.

An extremely successful author named Kloster and an unnamed, up-andcoming writer have one thing in common - they've both employed a typist named Luciana. Now Luciana claims Kloster is killing off her family, and she desperately needs help.

Perhaps I'm not the target audience?

I guess I prefer stories with more "action" and less dialogue and introspection. The central character, through whom we view the story, gives background, and then the protagonist and antagonist give their lengthy sides of the same story, after which there are new developments, causing the process to start again, until the somewhat unsatisfactory ending.

The narration was good, though having an American reading the translator's British English was a bit disconcerting.

WOW

I started reading this book about 10 years ago. I lost the book in Chicago before I could finish it. Last week I brought the audiobook, and have listened to it everyday since. This is 1 of my top 3 favorite books.
