De manera magistral, Carmen Mola teje, con los hilos del mejor thriller, esta novela impactante, frenética e implacable, de infierno y oscuridad.


Corre el año 1834 y Madrid, una pequeña ciudad que trata de abrirse paso más allá de las murallas que la rodean, sufre una terrible epidemia de cólera. Pero la peste no es lo único que aterroriza a sus habitantes: en los arrabales aparecen cadáveres desmembrados de niñas que nadie reclama. Todos los rumores apuntan a la Bestia, un ser a quien nadie ha visto pero al que todos temen.


Cuando la pequeña Clara desaparece, su hermana Lucía, junto con Donoso, un policía tuerto, y Diego, un periodista buscavidas, inician una frenética cuenta atrás para encontrar a la niña con vida. En su camino tropiezan con fray Braulio, un monje guerrillero, y con un misterioso anillo de oro con dos mazas cruzadas que todo el mundo codicia y por el que algunos están dispuestos a matar.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Masterfully, Carmen Mola weaves, with the threads of the best thriller, this shocking, frantic, and relentless novel of hell and darkness.


The year is 1834 and Madrid, a small city trying to expand beyond the walls that surround it, is suffering from a terrible cholera epidemic. But the plague is not the only thing terrifying its inhabitants: in the outskirts, dismembered corpses of girls that no one claims are appearing. All rumors point to the Beast, a being no one has seen but everyone fears.


When little Clara disappears, her sister Lucía, along with Donoso, a one-eyed policeman, and Diego, a hustler journalist, start a frantic countdown to find the girl alive. On their way, they encounter Brother Braulio, a guerrilla monk, and a mysterious gold ring with two crossed maces that everyone covets and for which some are willing to kill.

You will laugh and cry
Format: Kindle
Luckily, I stumbled into a link to this book on Transfeminine Review. One warning: take your eye makeup off before reading. You will laugh till you cry and that is not a good look with mascara. The plot resembles the movie American Fiction. Pearl is an aspiring trans woman writer. Her first novel has sunk without a trace so now she is going to try something more commercial: a gay male romance with James Bond action marketed to straight women who love that kind of thing. She's even adopting a pen name as Paul Sisters, s gay man. For a time it works. She has a publisher, Muzzle And Escutcheon is selling well and "Paul" has a fan following. Still, it's getting harder and harder to maintain her fake identity and she's having to make ever more compromises with her own identity and relationships. One other caution. Pearl does have to deal with casual transphobia. One sequence of her doing an online chat as Paul with transphobic fans and trying not to let it get to her I foundto be particularly triggering Good, funny, recommended

Brilliantly written
Format: Kindle
I read this in a single sitting, mesmerized. I cared about the protagonist even as she made increasingly bad and soul damaging decisions. I love love love her girlfriend and her roommate is also fun. One could argue that the humorous elements convey the dangers of being a trans woman in both publishing and life especially well. I also enjoyed the publishing scene aspects like in Yellowface. A great read. I’m now a fan!
