Welcome to Litsy!

This is a wham bam mystery. Under 200 pages, it doesn‘t have much in the way of atmosphere, context, or fleshed out characters. That said, it was rather a fun, quick mystery.

Again, I think the translation weakened the original novel. Not quite Agatha Christie level, but an interesting glimpse of Argentina in the 1950s. There are several German characters escaping their past...

Actually finished this book already but my new one isn‘t showing up in here (Find the Star: Stars of the New gods). Now I‘m out having a delicious cider and some lunch with my reading. #24in48

For such a short book, I found the story a little convoluted, but I liked the setting and writing. To call her the Argentine Agatha Christie is an apt description. There‘s even a culminating scene where the suspects are gathered as the murderer is revealed. This would be a good choice for the #ReadHarder challenge genre fiction in translation task.

Thank you @ness for the lovely #sockswap package! I‘m going to read this one next! Kili approves as well. 🧦😺📚

A decent story, but editing issues and text layout made it hard to tell who was speaking during conversations. Also annoying gender stereotypes and comments - the novel is older, but they still grated.

An interesting, Agatha Christie-style mystery from an Argentinian author. Shirt and enjoyable, would be a good palate cleanser (image from the internet). Counting this one for the set in/author from South America category. #ReadHarder @bookriot

The "Argentinian Agatha Christie"? I'M IN. ???☠�

I've heard Bosco referred to as the Argentinian Agatha Christie in case you were wondering how quickly I grabbed this egalley.
