Gypsy Bride Book Description A corpse with a skull full of maggots. Two sisters who were murdered in a blood-curdling manner just days before their wedding. Although her father is a Gypsy, Susana Macaya, who was not raised according to Gypsy customs, disappears after the bachelorette party organized by her friends. The body found two days after her disappearance turns out to have been tortured in an unusual and horrifying ritual. The most suspicious aspect of this murder is that Susana's sister, Laran, was also murdered with the same method seven years ago, on the eve of her marriage. The fact that Lara's murderer is in prison raises questions in mind: Either Lara's real killer is free outside while an innocent person lies inside, or someone imitated the method used in her sister's murder to kill Susana. Detective Elena Blanco, a competent police officer with her unique attitude, carries the traces of her painful past while trying to uncover the mystery behind the Gypsy Bride case. The brutal method used by the murderer against his victims will give you chills and you will be amazed by the author Carmen Mola, who is famous in the detective genre, in Spain and many other countries. “It's chilling and very masterfully written. A new character was born in the detective genre: Long live Elena Blanco!”Alzira Martins, Actes-Sud Editor (France) “Immersive. One of the most impressive and well-written thrillers seen in Spain in recent years, with a truly strong and original female character that fits perfectly with the expectations of today's reader. An excellent introduction to a new crime novel series.”Britta Claus, Penguin Verlag Taschenbuch Editor (Germany) “Who is Carmen Mola? Does it matter? His novels take control, drawing us in with an originality that leaves us wanting more. When we are horrified, we realize that we have already reached the last page.”Jordi Llobregat, Director “Carmen Mola proves that it has its own voice from the first page, and this already means a lot in the noir genre and outside of this genre.”Lorenzo Silva, Award Winner Crime Writer (From the Promotional Bulletin)
