He/Him. A wandering Spanish physicist who reads too much of everything that is not related to my work. I enjoy reading books (mostly #SciFi, #fantasy or #mystery), comics (mainly #EuropeanBD but I just devour anything that looks interesting to me) and from time to time #TTRPG manuals, #nonfiction (#physics and #anarchism) and whatever else I find that might be cool. Glad to join Bookwyrm and I'm loooking forward to see what everyone is reading!

The Village of Eight Graves (Paperback, 2021, Pushkin Press, Limited) 4 stars

Nestled deep in the mist-shrouded mountains, The Village of Eight Graves takes its name from …

More a thriller than a mystery

4 stars

This is the second Kosuke Kindaichi novel I have read and it does quite a good job of being a mystery, a thriller and even a horror novel.

It is a very entertaining tale, but I enjoyed more the Honshin Murders, most likely because I was in a better state physically (I do need holidays).

The Winter Queen (Paperback, 2004, Phoenix (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd )) 4 stars

The Winter Queen (Russian: Азазель, Azazel) is the first novel from the Erast Fandorin series …

A brilliant mix of historical fiction, crime novel and spy fiction

4 stars

It is the first book in the series, but the second one I read from the author and I have to say that I was expecting something more in line with what I have read from his other book (a political and mystery novel, with a very experienced detective).

This one tells the tale of a novice detective on his first case and it evolves into a daring tale of espionage and conspiracy, spanning continents. Good pacing, good character developments and very entertaining. I am definitely looking forward to reading more!
