'La sombra de la rosa' is a crime novel written by the business administrator and author from Compostela, Ángela Banzas, best known for having written 'La conjura de la niebla'.
This review was published on September 7, 2023, by the publisher Suma de Letras, and has won the appeal of some readers; however other readers have found it strange, given its style and theme.
Ángela Banzas is famous for her passion for poetic prose, which has given her a very special place within the Spanish crime novel. However, this very literary way of writing has created a separation between her readers, giving rise to those who admire it without reservation and those who feel distracted or even overwhelmed by what they consider “slow and difficult to follow” works.
