Un violador serial nos sirve de excusa para ponernos en escena a Petra ex abogada exitosa y pija, debenida en policía ( a la que su ex considera como desclasada), bueno ( ) Credevo meglio, molto meglio. Tutti a parlare dell'ispettrice, e il primo libro mi delude. Forse nei successivi la storia si riprende ma in questo ci sono: - un giallo risolto dopo 100 pagine (dall'autrice stessa) - cene a base di pizze e bevute di birra (a parte un whisky), nient'altro -un giallo che da molti punti di visti richiama Pepe Carvalho (la casa nel verde, l'assistente più anziano e un po' "strano", lo sfondo di Barcellona) ma senza la sua profondità, la sua caratterizzazione ed il suo umorismo. Poteva essere ma non è stato. Vedremo con gli altri romanzi (meglio, con il secondo): se anche lì delude, bye. Madrid police inspector Petra Delicado has been assigned to lead the investigation into a series of rapes, partnered by aging Sargent Garzon. Staffing shortages have led Petra, who normally does paperwork, to active investigation. There are few leads in the case, and Petra is getting little help from the victims. Petra also experiences plenty of sexism in the department, or at least she thinks she does. This leads to a certain amount of shrillness and violence on Petra's part. Some of her methods are rather unorthodox. In fact, she's downright obnoxious sometimes, doing the equivalent of killing a fly with an automatic rifle. The most compelling part of the book is Petra's partnership with Fermin Garzon. They are a wholly entertaining odd couple. I'm not sure if my issues with the book stem from translation or from writing. I found the writing to be weak, but that might be due to translation issues. This is an award-winning book, but I just didn't see it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Book One of thePetra Delicadoseries Tough, sexy, at times apparently pitiless, Petra Delicado is a new kind of cop in Spanish crime writing. As she battles with sexist colleagues, ruthless reporters, indifferent witnesses, and hardened criminals, she sometimes thinks her thirst for new challenges and perpetual change is more trouble than it's worth. Inspector Delicado has been chained to a tiresome desk job in the documentation department of the Barcelona police force for months. But things are about to change. The department is short-handed and there's a serial rapist on the loose. Delicado is partnered with the portly and impossibly compliant Sergeant Fermín Garzón with orders to solve the case before it succeeds in ruining the good name of the Barcelona police force. However, the only lead they have is therapist's mysterious signature: a circular mark of unknown origins he leaves on his victims' forearms. No witnesses, no other leads, and no help from the victims themselves. To further complicate her life, Inspector Delicado is dealing with two ex-husbands, the belittling Hugo and incompetent Pepe. From the winner of the Feminino Lumen Prize for best female writer in Spain comes this gripping and entertaining book in thePetra Delicado series which was widely enjoyed by Spanish-language readers.
