A Murder of No Consequence (The Inspector Ruiz Mysteries Book 1) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Spain is on the verge of a civil war, and murder on the streets of Madrid has become so commonplace that it passes largely unnoticed. So why does the death of the young girl in Retiro Park have such an effect on Paco Ruiz? What is about her case that makes it so different from all the others he has investigated? He doesn’t know - but he does know that despite being warned off by his superiors and receiving death threats from the fascists, he will stay with the investigation until he catches the killer. A Murder of No Consequence is not only a thrilling and intriguing mystery, but also paints a vivid picture of a society – and a way of life – on the verge of collapse. Regular readers of the Woodend and Paniatowski books will already be familiar with Paco Ruiz, who makes his first appearance in THE BUTCHER BEYOND, crops up again in ECHOES OF THE DEAD (selected by Kirkus Reviews as one of the twelve best detective novels of 2011) and is due to play a prominent part in the 7th Paniatowski novel, which will be published towards the end of 2013.
