'Scathing satire of Spanish society, hilarious dialogue, all beautifully dressed up as a crime novel"'
Krimi-Couch"'A first novel that's spread like wildfire by word of mouth.'
El Avui 'Teresa Solana is great proof of the vitality of the roman noir in Catalan... A wonderfully ironic hymn to the city of Barcelona.'
