About the author
Juan Gómez-Jurado
99 books8,051 followersJuan Gómez-Jurado (Madrid, 1977), journalist by training, is considered one of the best thriller writers in Europe. His novels have been translated into forty-seven languages and he has received numerous international awards and distinctions such as the Prix Cognac Polar du meilleur roman international (2022), Financial Times Best Books of 2023 – Thrillers list, Sunday Times 2023 – Best Thriller Book of the Year in Translation, Shortlisted for UK 2023 Best Crime Novel in Translation, Shortlisted for 2023 Sweden Best Crime Novel in Translation, and the Honorary Wielki Kaliber Award 2025 in Wrocław (Poland).
With the books of the Red Queen Universe (The Patient, Scar, Red Queen, Black Wolf, White King, Everything Burns, Everything Returns and Everything Dies, all of them published by Ediciones B) he became the driving force behind the greatest thriller phenomenon in the Spanish language. Since the publication of The Patient, the first in the saga, in 2014, the figures say it all: four and a half million copies sold in Spanish alone, more than 120,000 reviews, and an adaptation of Red Queen on Prime, which was the most-watched Spanish series in history internationally in the week of its premiere.
He currently collaborates with various media outlets and is the co-creator of the podcast Todopoderosos, winner of the Ondas Award in 2024. Now, after closing the circle with Antonia Scott and Jon Gutiérrez, he embarks on this story full of lies, with different characters, plots and drives. A novel that will shake the reader and make them doubt everything again and again.

Creo que ha sido el libro más maduro(?) de Amanda hasta la fecha. No he sentido que haya habido tanta comedia ni bromas como en entregas anteriores, de hecho, lo he notado más oscuro y sombrío, con menos ilustraciones en comparación con los predecesores. Puede perfectamente que sea debido a que la acción se desarrolla en la Alemania nazi de la Segunda Guerra Mundial... No sé por qué, pero me ha gustado mucho. Al principio no me estaba llamando mucho la atención ni enganchando, pero parece que el topic de viajes en el tiempo no deja de sorprenderme y esta vez creo que ha estado muy bien llevado, sobre todo por la época a la que han viajado los protagonistas. Puede que leerme este libro estando actualmente en Alemania haya sido un acierto :)

De todos los libros de Amanda Black, sin duda este es el que más me ha gustado. La historia, si bien está en la línea de lo esperable, opta por ser un poco más inventiva e incluye ciertos aspectos que la hacen ser la más atrevida de la saga.
