La Reina del Sur | Arturo Perez-Reverte
11 posts | 25 read | 17 to read
Un thriller apasionante Son el telfono y supo que la iban a matar. Lo supo con tanta certeza que se qued inmvil, la cuchilla en alto, el cabello pegado a la cara entre el vapor del agua caliente que goteaba en los azulejos. Bip-bip. Se qued muy quieta, conteniendo el aliento como si la inmovilidad o el silencio pudieran cambiar el curso de lo que ya haba ocurrido. Bip-bip. Estaba en la baera, depilndose la pierna derecha, el agua jabonosa por la cintura, y su piel desnuda se eriz igual que si acabara de reventar el grifo del agua fra. Bip-bip. En el estreo del dormitorio, los Tigres del Norte cantaban historias de Camelia la Tejana. La traicin y el contrabando, decan, son cosas compartidas. La crtica ha dicho... El encuentro de John Le Carr con Gabriel Garca Mrquez. Prez-Reverte tiene un enorme grupo de seguidores que sigue creciendo. The Wall Street Journal Es un contador de historias increble. USA Today Entretenida como pocas, hermosa por su construccin e inquietante por la grave problemtica que late debajo de la aventura criminal. A esta radiografa del delito aade adems el autor un canto a la propia literatura. El Cultural Pasen y lean. El espectculo est no solamente servido sino asegurado. El Pas Junten el desencanto neorromntico de Barry Gifford con la maestra narrativa de Juan Mars y aadan una banda sonora con el desgarro de Chavela Vargas. El resultado de semejante mezcolanza ya tiene ttulo: La Reina del Sur. El Peridico de Catalua

It took me awhile to get through this book. Not because I didn‘t like it, I just couldn‘t get distracted or I‘d get lost. It‘s nothing like the Netflix series, which I love, but it‘s still a great story about drug cartel Queen Teresa Mendoza.

Typical Iowa fall day. Shorts and a fire 😃 I‘m struggling through this book, but I‘m not giving up!!! It‘s not that I don‘t like it, it‘s just really hard to follow!!

Erinreadsthebooks I read that as “shots and a fire” and thought, ‘wow that‘s a big shot glass‘ 😂🙌 4y

I‘m obsessed with Netflix‘s The Queen of the South series. So when I discovered it was based on a book, of course I had to order that!!

#greatfirstlines to get you ready for the adventure that is The Queen of the South. This great novel got me back into reading after a long dry spell. I highly recommend this one if you haven't already read it. #booktober

Drugs are bad (so I've been told and heard), but this tale of a young woman who becomes a major drug queen is soooo good, as are all of Perez-Reverte's translated books. #somethingforsept

A gritty, yet beautifully told story about a young Mexican girl's rise as the head of a dangerous drug empire. Have all the episodes of this tivoed. Worried the show won't be as good as the book (per usual!).

MrBook A bit belated, but welcome to @Litsy ! 8y
EKonrad @MrBook Thanks! Trying to build up my profile a little...seems I'm pretty far behind everyone else! 😬 Am loving the community though! 8y
MrBook You're always ahead of somebody 😎👍🏻. I started in June, I think. It'll take time, but it's worth it 😁. 8y
MrBook Sorry, July. They're both in Summer and begin with "J" ? 8y
