Since her debut with Clandestina (Penguin Libros | Penguin Llibres, 2019), Cristina Redondo has made a powerful impact on contemporary literature, establishing herself as a storyteller with a distinctive style defined by psychological tension, mystery, and an unsettling exploration of society. With immersive prose and meticulous suspense-building, her work has captured the attention of both critics and readers, positioning her as one of the most promising authors in the genre.

Her first novel, a feminist political espionage thriller, has been acclaimed by major media outlets, including Marie Claire—which listed it among “The 20 Feminist Books You Cannot Miss”—, Forbes—which described it as “an intense thriller, filled with intrigue and unsettling reflections on democracy and the political system”—, and Harper’s Bazaar, which praised her style, stating: “Crime fiction has found in Cristina Redondo one of its finest new voices.” Additionally, her work has been featured in La Vanguardia, and she has participated in interviews with La SER, La COPE, RNE, and Catalunya Ràdio, reflecting the growing interest in her work within the literary landscape.

Beyond fiction, Cristina Redondo has contributed as a writer to various digital publications, publishing opinion pieces on current affairs, literature, social trends, art, and culture, among other topics. Her analytical depth and compelling narrative style have allowed her to actively engage in literary and cultural discussions across various platforms, introducing and supporting fellow authors in their book launches, from established writers to emerging voices.

For a period, she founded and led the “Cadascuna de Nosaltres” Book Club at the Biblioteca Central Tecla Sala (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat), a space dedicated to literature written by women. Under her direction, the club became a dynamic forum where reading and discussion complemented one another, offering participants an enriching experience that deepened their connection with literature and literary criticism.

She is currently exploring the best publishing opportunities for her second novel while working on her third, further delving into the realms of thrillers, mystery, and psychological horror. At the same time, she remains actively involved in promoting literature, participating in cultural events alongside other writers, book presentations, and literary discussions. With a narrative that blends darkness, social critique, and unexpected twists, Cristina Redondo continues to develop a distinctive voice within genre fiction.
