Death Going Down by María Angélica Bosco
4.0
This book is rated here as 3.11 and in my opinion that is rather harsh. I found it to be very enjoysble and a short and interesting read.
A superb murder/suicide case with plenty of red herrings. A good cast of characters and even a shoe sniffing dog.
The first crime novel I have read set in Argentina and a nice change to the European, Japan and America that I am used to.
The novel is translated and this is where I think it loses people, its a bit off at some points but I think its down to the translation, surely any translated fiction loses some of the spirit of the original.
Also the author is described as the Argentinian Agatha Christie, quite the weighty comparison and one that will unfairly give comparisons to Poirot.
A great read and perfect for something to fill a little gap for a few hours.
