review 1: Ormai posso dire di conoscere abbastanza bene la scrittura di Eduardo Mendoza e questo romanzo si inserisce perfettamente nel tipo di stile che più gli è congeniale: la parodia e il mescolamento dei generi. Troviamo qui il giallo, il noir, il romanzo storico, il romanzo umoristic...

review 1: Geen idee hoe ik de titel goed zou moeten vertalen. Deze schrijver heft kennelijk al meer "detectives" geschreven, maar die ken ik niet. Deze speelt in Barcelona ten tijde van de economische crisis. Het is een detective, maar zit vol met volslagen absurde situaties,op het kolder...
