Los amigos del crimen perfecto
Destino, 2003
-Nadal Novel Award 2003
(Friends of the Perfect Crime) A group of mystery lovers get together in a café to discuss crime novels. For a few years now they have been searching for the perfect crime, until one day, reality surprises them with an unexpected murder that surpasses their wildest dreams. Andrés Trapiello pays homage to the mystery genre without losing sight of his own essential style. This splendid novel becomes a skilful and highly effective game, as well as a moral reflection on the ambiguous desire for revenge, and on justice, victims, and executioners. In Los amigos del crimen perfecto, Andrés Trapiello puts a new spin on the crime novel genre with extraordinary literary mastery, as he leads us with stunning narrative skill to a surprise ending.
