Ruby falls, a novel by Deborah Goodrich Royce
¡Hola corazones! esta semana vengo con otra de mis colaboraciones de #Netgalley y en este caso se trata probablemente de una de mis lecturas mas favoritas del año. Fue inesperado porque no esperaba nada pero este Thriller me atrapó y es brillante.
como siempre la reseña en inglés:
I began reading the novel knowing that it was closely related to Daphne
Du Maurier's Rebecca, which came to my eyes with the Alfred Hitchchock´s film
adaptation.
Ruby Falls is hypnotic, gripping, and weird. The gothic atmosphere of
David Lynch's films seems to have inspired this haunting tale that begins with
the disappearance of Ruby's father in the caves that happen to have her name:
Ruby Falls.
I think Eleanor, as she calls herself after the trauma of her past, is a
character that is not meant to be nice but to be a puzzle.
The loose writing and in the first person were ruminating like going
back over the steps of Eleanor and rewriting herself all the time, adding
details and expanding the story, which has a highly addictive effect. The
mystery catches you and you want to know many things such as What happened to
Ruby / Ellie / Eleanor's father? What happened to her in the soap opera that
she had to give it up? And many other things that will become clear only at the
end when the atmosphere is truly rarefied and you distrust of everyone. Every
single character is shady because we watch them thru Eleanor’s eyes.
I gave it five stars because it was a reading that shocked and surprised
me. Set in the eighties, it has a lot of VC Andrews, (even the cover with
flowers) and the timing is very cinematic.
Each chapter if I did not misunderstand has the title or represents a
classic film. Which as a movie fan, I think it made it a very attractive
characteristic.
I highly recommend this reading because the plot is impeccable and the
parallels or recurrences in the plot are everything to give it that strange and
terrible climate. So poetic it hurts.
I made many assumptions but the plot twists were up to what I expected,
which was a good psychological thriller.
I really hope that people will comment on this novel a lot and that
everyone gives it a try. It was one of my best reads of the year and I'm really
going to wait for the release to buy myself a copy because it got me.
The arc edition that I received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest
review was a pdf and I must point out that
in one of the chapters that is in Spanish there is a typo because it says
Meurto instead of Muerto wich is the correct word.
My applause to Debrorah Goodrich Royce and I really hope to read more about her in the future if her trhillers are as effective and as compartmentalized as Ruby's secretary.
Ruby Falls is a ten.
¡Espero volver pronto con mas reseñas es que ando complicada editando una novela! Saludos!
Never came home by Gretta Mulrooney. #Netgalley #nevercamehome
¡Hola corazones! ya se que saben que me engolosiné con #Netgalley. En total pedí ocho novelas y cinco son thrillers o terror para conmemorar el mes oscuro. Es un poco complicado leer con un tiempo límite pero hasta ahora lo vengo manejando bien (en el medio tengo las lecturas de las cosas que me gustan y hasta contraté Kindle Ulimited porque estoy chapa, o leyendo a las chapas.). La siguiente, es una novela de la autora británica Gretta Mulrooney que es como especialista en thrillers y tiene esta detective (Siv Drummond) de la que sacó su segunda novela, que es la que me toca reseñar en inglés como siempre.
Ahora, la reseña en inglés:
I want to
thanks #Netgalley and the publisher for the copy in exchange for an honest
review.
Can a woman
vanish into thin air? It’s 2013 and we witnesses the last time Adam, a nine
year old kid, watches her mother, Lyn Dimas, go to the groceries and never came
back.
Six years
later, a body is found in a demolition site, in which they’re going to build
new apartments. Detective Siv Drummond and her team get themselves a cold case
who turned up to be murder. The body of
Lyn Dimas is found out tied up in a back of an old fridge in an abandoned place
and re opens the investigation of the disappearance of Mrs. Dimas.
This novel
goes through the entire investigation of the case and in times, reveals the
problems of Siv and her team. Like Siv dealing with the dead of her husband or
her conflictive relationship with her mother, Mutsi.
It was a
slow reading for me, too much British slang got me in some trouble, but there’s
a glossary of terms in the end of the book that you can check out.
Is a dark
slow pace mystery that unfolds the complicated life of the Dimas. All the time I feel so sorry about Adam and
him carrying the fault of something he couldn’t avoid.
It was grim
but yet interesting, sometimes there was just to many interrogations going on.
Is like long version of one of those dramatic detective’s TV show like Vera.
The pace was a little bit to slow for me, I’m get used to to fast thrillers but
it was a nice reading.
For me is a
three stars reading (I was pondering four since is three and a half actually).
The motive and the discovery at the end it was OK but it was my first suspect
since the beginning even if there is many others who had stronger motive to
kill Lyn.
Ideal for
fans of Wallander and such who wants a female and not so likeable (she is a bit
too moody and gloom because of the grief and her job basically) older police
detective.
Quiero cerrar escribiendo que por estos lares es el DIA DE LA MADRE y DE LA FAMILIA. Quiero saludar a mi madre y a mi familia que esta siempre al pie del cañón para apoyarme en las diferentes decisiones y etapas de mi vida. En especial a mi tía, ahora que mi abuela nos mira del cielo, porque es una leona que me banca en todas.
Reseña| La redención y la muerte (Greta Lindberg #1) - Lena Svensson
Primero les dejo el booktrailer que hice con la sinopsis:
Lena Svensson (Argentina, 1974) es uno de los seudónimos que se esconde detrás de la autora Andrea Milano, quien también escribe usando los seudónimos de Breeze Baker y Sienna Anderson.
Andrea/Lena/Breeze/Sienna, es una apasionada de la lectura, del cine, la fotografía y el diseño. Ama escribir y su mayor sueño ha sido siempre ver publicadas sus obras, sueño que se realizó hace ya cuatro años cuando se publicó su primera novela en el sello La Educación Sentimental de Editorial Vestales. La redención y la muerte es su primera novela publicada con el seudónimo de Lena Svensson, además de ser una novela que se sale de todos los géneros que la autora ya ha transitado. Con esta historia, Lena nos trae una novela negra ambientada en la fría y enigmática Suecia con una protagonista diferente, Greta Lindberg que seguramente no pasará desapercibida a sus lectores.
