Synopses & Reviews
In this new, excellent detective novel, Lònia Guiu, the detective/protagonist of Study in Lilac and Antipodes, again cracks the case, this time of a woman's missing daughter, but not without the usual contretemps, tension, and riddles, as well as good humor. A desperate mother searches for her daughter, Júlia. Lònia takes on the job of looking for her in Mallorca, her last known whereabouts. No one there knows anything. But Lònia suspects that her informers are lying. A Castilian song with its deformed version in Catalan provides a clue, and little by little she unwraps the skeins, but she pays a price: a destroyed car, a sprained ankle, a finger in a cast, a couple of beatings...Lots of action and lots of emotion. In Blue Roses, Lònia has reached the level of the best current detectives. Blue Roses is a solid literary product which will please both Lònia Guiu fans and those who enjoy high quality detective fiction.
