About this listen
Rompecabezas de un Tzompantli.
Un asesino serial comienza a matar en la Ciudad de México. De inmediato llama la atención porque sus matanzas conllevan una serie de rituales que remiten de inmediato a los sacrificios humanos de la época prehispánica. Al mismo tiempo, Casasola intenta indagar sobre lo que sucede con los indigentes del centro de la ciudad; la llamada Comunidad George A. Romero. Sin embargo, el reportero tendrá que abandonar su crónica por la nota urgente y desentrañar quién se esconde detrás de las siniestras matanzas.
Toda la sangre es la segunda novela de Casasola, el periodista cultural venido a menos que al quedarse sin trabajo decide hacer sus pininos en el Semanario Sensacional y resolver, como es su costumbre, casos que rayan con lo sobrenatural; cosa que Bernardo Esquinca sabe contar muy bien. La novela es además de un thriller entretenido, que no da pausa pese a su extensión una declaración de amor al centro histórico de la ciudad. Esquinca vive ahí, entre palacios y ruinas arqueológicas, así que al seguir la historia uno obtiene un tour privilegiado a las partes secretas que esconde la urbe: su pasado indígena, los viejos pasos que servían como puertos para chinampas, las catacumbas de la Catedral, los sitios donde se asientan los indigentes, los edificios abandonados que dan vivienda al poder detrás de las sombras y toda la oscuridad que no se ve a simple vista.
Esquinca es consistente con sus temas: el terror y el crimen. Con esos elementos logra hablar de muchas más cosas sin sonar pedante. Por ejemplo, pasa revista a un enorme Jack London que ha sido encasillado como autor juvenil por su obra más conocida, Colmillo blanco (en sí misma una gran historia) pero se deja de lado lo que ahora podríamos llamar nuevo periodismo. También recupera el relato cotidiano, la crudeza de la nota roja y sus infinitas formas de contar la crueldad humana. ¿No es acaso el Semanario Sensacional el apodo bajo el que se esconde El Nuevo Alarma; no es acaso ahí donde empiezan muchas de las historias policiacas que acabarán volviéndose novelas?
Además como ya hizo antes Rafael Bernal y Paco Ignacio Taibo en su momento, Esquinca no siente ningún tipo de pudor de situar su trama en un ambiente tan conocido como lo es la Ciudad de México. Bernardo hace caminar a su personaje en esas míticas calles que antes recibieron la sangre indígena de los sacrificios ya sea a los dioses aztecas o al dios español, hace aparecer a Humboldt y convierte en femenino al famoso arqueólogo Eduardo Matos Moctezuma.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

En la cruda todos somos indigentes
Excelente serie macabra. En esta segunda novela el periodista de nota roja Casasola se enfrenta a un asesino ritualista que invoca el regreso de las deidades Mexicas mediante sacrificios humanos. La novela tiene un ritmo trepidante y muy bien enmarcada en el ambiente prehispánico que nos es difícil de entender.
La narración es muy buena.
