Review of ‘Tinta y fuego,’ Benito Olmo's novel about the dangerous passion for books

According to the author, ‘Tinta y fuego’ is his most ambitious novel published to date

His work is the result of the investigation of the literary plundering perpetrated by the Nazis throughout Europe, which involved the seizure, deflection and destruction of hundreds of libraries during World War II and the years that followed.

Olmo presents us with an action-packed work from beginning to end that will be hard to put down once you start. The novel combines elements of thriller, mystery and police investigation, creating a tense and enveloping atmosphere that keeps the reader on edge from the first to the last page.

Written in a straightforward, well-structured manner, it is constructed with sharp prose and concise dialogues that contribute to a dynamic and fast-paced narrative rhythm. The descriptions of the environments in which the plot takes place contribute to providing a layer of credibility and realism to the plot and all its elements.
