Barcelona in 1952 is rife with rumor and violence, and every secret can be lethal, in this intricate, atmospheric, and utterly gripping new thriller Barcelona, 1952. General Franco's fascist government is at the height of its oppressive powers, casting a black shadow across the city. When wealthy socialite Mariona Sobrerroca is found dead in her mansion in the exclusive Tibidabo district, the police scramble to seize control of the investigation. Ana Martí Noguer, an eager young journalist, is surprised to be assigned this important story, shadowing Inspector Isidro Castro. But Ana soon realizes that a bundle of strange letters unearthed at the scene point to a sequence of events dramatically different from the official version. She enlists the help of her cousin Beatriz, a scholar, and what begins as an intriguing puzzle opens up a series of revelations that implicate the regime's most influential figures. The two women have placed themselves in mortal danger. As the conspiracy unfolds, Ana's courage and Beatriz's wits will be their only weapons against the city's corrupt and murderous elite.

The plan is to start this today after doing some straightening up. Our living/dining area looks like a dorm room 😔. The last two weeks have been spent dealing with a MIL crisis which completely sapped our energy, so cleaning feels good. This book is a mystery set in Barcelona during the Franco regime, a time period of interest to me. #booktherapy

tricours MIL = mother in law? 8y

"There she lay. Mariona. Pale, blonde, voluptuous, and... dead."
First sentence of The whispering city, a mystery set in Barcelona in the 1950's.

This book is filled with the 'dark' atmosphere of living in Franco's Spain. It is the background for this story.
Ana is a journalist who finds out there is something wrong with the official version of the murder investigation.
Loved the use of language and literature to solve this crime. ?

We were playing outside, but our little boy decided inside was better. 😳
So, even though the sun is shining, we are inside with the toys he could no longer do without.
I have found myself a sunny spot on the floor to read a few pages of this 'darkish' book.

After working in the garden all day, there is some time to read a few pages before cooking dinner.
I hope Morbidelli will let me read 😊
