En esta familia todos son sospechosos.¡No podrás dejar de leer hasta descubrir al asesino!
Entre el mejor cozy crime y la novela policiaca clásica, la ópera prima de los hermanos Navarro es una carta de amor al género, un homenaje irresistible a Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Hammett y Chandler. Un misterio envolvente cargado de intriga, sorpresas, muertes impredecibles, sospechosos imposibles y unos protagonistas carismáticos atrapados en un escenario aislado en el que el lector se convertirá en un detective más.
En su remota mansión de los Pirineos, los Watson se preparan para celebrar las fiestas navideñas como una familia cualquiera: reencuentros esperados, mucha comida y bebida y la firme promesa de no hablar de política. Pero los Watson no son una familia cualquiera, ya que entre sus miembros se encuentran los tres inspectores de policía más reconocidos del país: Richard Watson, patriarca y sabueso a la antigua usanza; Eugenio Watson, su hijo, obsesionado con el análisis exhaustivo y científico de la escena del crimen, y Florencia Watson, su peculiar y perspicaz nieta. Cuando un grito corta el aire helado de la mañana de Navidad, la mansión de los Watson se convierte en la escena de un crimen. Miriam, la hermana mayor del clan, ha aparecido muerta en su cuarto, sobre un charco de sangre, pero sin herida alguna, y con marcas de haber sido estrangulada. Solo hay algo seguro: el culpable se encuentra dentro de la casa. Richard, Eugenio y Florencia -abuelo, hijo y nieta-, tendrán que poner a prueba sus diferentes métodos para resolver el caso antes de que el asesino ataque de nuevo. Los detectives protagonistas de Mi familia y otros asesinos Richard Watson: El abuelo. Inspector de homicidios retirado y una leyenda del Cuerpo. Sabueso a la vieja usanza: va siempre con su instinto por delante. Eugenio Watson: El hijo. Inspector de homicidios en activo. Muy formal, pero siempre agradable. Obsesionado con el análisis científico de las pruebas del crimen. Florencia Watson: La nieta. Futura inspectora de homicidios. Friki del k-pop, es el verso suelto de la familia. Un verdadero genio de la deducción. Cada uno de los tres inspectores sirve de homenaje a una época y un estilo de narrativa distintos dentro de la historia del género negro. Florencia Watson recuerda a detectives propios de las novelas de Agatha Christie: es una investigadora tan improbable como miss Marple y tan excéntrica como Poirot o Benoit Blanc, de Puñales por la espalda. Su abuelo, Richard Watson, es una versión de Phillip Marlowe o Sam Spade actualizada y avejentada. Es un tipo duro en una época en la que ya no se llevan los tipos duros. Con respecto a Eugenio, tiene cosas tanto de Sherlock Holmes, por su capacidad de reconstruir lo que ha pasado a través de las evidencias y por su falta de habilidades sociales, como de los policías más modernos de C.S.I. Las diferencias entre ellos generan una competitividad que hará que cada uno de los Watson se esfuerce por ser el primero en resolver el crimen y demostrar que su método es mejor que el de los demás. ¿Quién será el vencedor? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this family, everyone is a suspect.
You won't be able to stop reading until you find out who the killer is!
Somewhere between cozy mystery and classic detective fiction, the Navarro brothers' debut novel is a love letter to the genre, an irresistible homage to Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Hammett and Chandler. An engrossing mystery full of intrigue, surprises, unexpected victims, unlikely suspects and charismatic protagonists in an isolated setting where the reader takes on the role of detective.
In their remote mansion in the Pyrenees, the Watsons are preparing for the Christmas holidays like any family: eagerly awaited reunions, plentiful food and drink, and a strict promise to avoid talking about politics. But the Watsons aren't just any family. They count among their members the country's three most celebrated police inspectors: Richard Watson, the patriarch and an old-school detective; Eugenio Watson, his son, obsessed with exhaustive and scientific analysis of the scene of the crime; and Florencia Watson, his quirky and insightful granddaughter. When a scream cuts through the frigid air on Christmas morning, the Watson's mansion itself becomes a crime scene. Miriam, the eldest sister of the clan, has been found dead in her room, in a pool of blood but with no visible wounds and showing every sign of having been strangled. Only one thing is for sure: The killer is in the house. Richard, Eugenio and Florencia - grandfather, son and granddaughter - must put their different methods to work to solve the case before the murderer strikes again. The detectives of My Family and Other Killers Richard Watson: Grandfather. Retired homicide inspector.
Eugenio Watson: Son. Active homicide inspector.
Florencia Watson: Granddaughter. Future homicide inspector. Each of the three detectives pays homage to a different era and storytelling style in the noire genre. The contrasts between them give rise to a competitiveness that drives each Watson to be the first to solve the crime and prove the superiority of his or her method. Who will win out in the end?

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
