Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. ¿Qué precio hay que pagar para dar una vuelta de timón y decidirse a vivir los propios sueños? Aunque Pablo Simó quiere construir la torre de sus sueños, se limita a dibujarla: hace veinte años que trabaja en un estudio de arquitectura que no puede o no quiere dejar. Veinte años son tabién los que lleva casado con Laura, a quien sólo lo unen la costumbre y una hija típicamente adolescente. Cuando una joven llegue inesperadamente al estudio buscando a Nelson Jara, comenzará a revelarse la trama del secreto en la que Simó está implicado junto a su jefe y una compañera de trabajo. La aparición de la muchacha y las derivaciones de ese hecho del pasado abrirán una grieta en la preciaria estabilidad del arquitecto, que verá derrumbarse una a una las certezas que lo sostuvieron hasta el momento. Read for Malice on Main book group. This is not really a mystery but more of a crime novel. The main protagonist is a OCD architect in Buenos Aries and the book is full of real buildings and the author's take on the building going on in 2007. Was the victim really dead when his body was hidden? Was the victim committing a crime himself? This is a great read. A Crack in the Wall is not quite a crime novel, although there is a dead body and secrets to be kept. Claudia Pineiro's novel is instead an examination of one man's life; an architect in Buenos Aires who was involved in the cover-up of a crime and of how his life changes as a result. Pablo Simo lives carefully, following the same route to work every day, drinking a single cup of strong, black coffee in the same cafe every afternoon and arranging his pencil diagonally across the cover of his notebook on his desk. Years ago, he helps dispose of a body and now a woman has shown up asking about the dead man, shaking up his careful routine and causing him to question the trajectory his life has taken. Pineiro has written a psychologically suspenseful novel reminiscent of Barbara Vine and Minette Walters. I'll be looking for more by this author. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Pablo Simó's life is a mess. His career as an architect is at a dead-end; he is reduced to designing soulless office buildings desecrating the heart of Buenos Aires. His marriage seems to be one endless argument with his wife over the theatrics of their rebellious teenage daughter. To complicate matters, Pablo has long been attracted to sexy office secretary Marta Horvat, who is probably having an affair with his boss. Everything changes with the unexpected appearance of Leonor, a beautiful young woman who brings to light a crime that happened years before, a crime that everyone in the office wants forgotten, at all costs.--From back cover.
