review 1: As far as crime thrillers go, this is easily among the better ones I've read. The setting of the story is traditional with two cases and the troubled main character being involved in one of them. That's also the weak point of this book, the solving of the smaller case is all too easy given how much extra tension it brings to the plot. The main case is intriguing and incorporates many "hot" issues. The characters would benefit from some development but that surely happens in the following books. All in all this is a good first novel from the author; easy to read, interesting and with enough twists to make it better than average.
review 2: What a terrific book. Antonio Hill is a new favorite author. I received this book from Read It Forward and so glad I entered... more. The story is about Hector Salgado an Argentinean ex-patriot now working in Barcelona. This is the first in a series focusing on Inspector Salvador and the book does a very good job of introducing a character who is tough and perhaps a little jaded and yet still sees the differences, at least in the end between truth and justice. In this book Inspector Salvador has two cases, one that has put him in the position of a temporary probation probation and the other related to an unsolved murder of a little girl and two possible suicides. I was surprised about the ending although after finishing the book I wondered why because Hill had given enough clues. Will read again. less
