This is a list, yes, but in which we comment and wager. For lovers of the genre and those who do not read it regularly. Classics, adventurous books, hidden wonders... A little of everything to enjoy criminal fiction.

The first Madrid Book Fair held with some normality in the last two years is already underway in the Retiro Park. An excellent opportunity to enjoy literature and buy books. The dilemma, as always: where to start? How to navigate aimlessly through hundreds of booths with such appealing offers? As much as we can, we are going to limit that problem with a selection of 36 novels (and some non-fiction works) analyzed and commented on.

Most have been published in the last year and are easily found. As always, the selection responds to what I have read and can recommend. I'm sure it's not all there —in fact, I've already told you that you'll miss, for example, thrillers with impossible twists: I'm tired of reading them— but what is recommended is supported by hundreds of hours of reading. Come, buy, read, and enjoy.
