If it wasn't for all the violent crime described, this could almost tempt me to book for Bogota.

BarbaraBB Beautiful description. I was there in 2017 and like the rest of Colombia it‘s gorgeous 💜 5y
charl08 @BarbaraBB good to hear. The book makes for a pretty grim tale of corruption and poverty. 5y
BarbaraBB @charl08 Which is there of course too 😉 5y

Currently listening to Melba Escobar from Colombia talking about her unexpected crime novel (tagged here) for the Singapore Writers Festival #SWF2018. Has anyone here read this novel yet? I am intrigued by the premise but the Goodreads ranking is fairly low. @ephemeralwaltz Clara, any thoughts? Is this in your radar?

Cinfhen Premise sounds good 5y
BarbaraBB I think so too. 5y
