LA NUEVA NOVELA DE ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE

Un crimen imposible. Un detective insospechado.

No se trata de un desafío entre el asesino y el detective, sino de un duelo de inteligencia entre el autor y el lector.

 

--Haría falta un policía--sugirió alguien--. Un detective.
--Tenemos uno --dijo Foxá.
--Todos siguieron la dirección de su mirada.
--Eso es ridículo --protesté--. ¿Se han vuelto locos?
--Usted fue Sherlock Holmes.
--Nadie fue Sherlock Holmes. Ese detective no existió jamás. Es una invención literaria.
--Que usted encarnó de manera admirable.
--Pero fue en el cine. Nada tuvo que ver con la vida real. Sólo soy un actor.

Me contemplaban esperanzados, y lo cierto es que yo mismo empezaba a entrar en situación, como si acabaran de encender los focos y oyese el suave rumor de una cámara rodando. Aun así decidí mantenerme silencioso, cruzados los dedos bajo el mentón. No había disfrutado tanto desde que rodé El perro de Baskerville.

 

Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos. Nadie como él, acostumbrado a aplicar en el cine las habilidades deductivas de Sherlock Holmes, puede desentrañar lo que de verdad esconde ese enigma clásico de habitación cerrada. En una isla de la que nadie puede salir y a la que nadie puede llegar, inevitablemente todos se acabarán convirtiendo en sospechosos en una fascinante novela-problema donde la literatura policial se mezcla de modo asombroso con la vida.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

The book that inspired the upcoming adapted series on Netflix

 

THE NEW NOVEL BY ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE

An impossible crime. An unlikely detective.

In addition to a race between killer and sleuth, The Final Problem is a duel of wits between authorand reader.

 

"We need a policeman," someone suggested. "A detective."
"We have one," said Foxá.
Everyone followed the direction of his eyes.
"That's ridiculous," I protested. "Have you lost your minds?"
"You were Sherlock Holmes."
"Nobody was Sherlock Holmes. He never existed. He's a literary invention."
"One that you played masterfully."
"But that was in the movies. It had nothing to do with real life. I'm just an actor."

 

They looked at me hopefully, and the truth is that I found myself getting into character, as if the lights had been flipped on and you could hear the soft whir of the camera rolling. But even so, I decided to keep quiet, my fingers crossed under my chin. I hadn't had so much fun since the set of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

 

June 1960. A storm strands nine travelers at an inn on the idyllic island of Utakos, across from Corfu. No one has any premonition of what is about to happen: Edith Mander, a quiet English tourist, turns up dead in the beach pavilion. It looks like a suicide, but the scene contains a series of clues too subtle for anyone but the likes of Hopalong Basil, a washed-up actor who once played the most famous detective of all time on the silver screen. Having learned Sherlock Holmes' deductive reasoning as part of the role, he is the only one capable of uncovering what really happened in this classic locked-room mystery. On an island cut off from the rest of the world by the storm, everyone is automatically a suspect in this fascinating novel-problem in which detective-fiction collides in surprising ways with real life.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.
