My review is based not on this being really good literature, but on it being really good literature for a Spanish learner. It is so helpful to practice by reading very basic structures and having the parallel text!

So entertaining!

I am enjoying this series of short stories so much! No more Roberto y Julia go to Spain or My Dog is Blue. Murder mysteries are so much fun and my vocabulary is definitely improving!

Thumb’s Up for Asesinato en el Banqueta de Boda

The story was interesting enough to want to read it until it was finished. I also liked the presentation in Spanish and immediately followed by the English translation. I feel more motivated to read other books in Spanish!

good story

I enjoyed the book and learned many new Spanish words and phrases. Thank you. Reading books in another language is a great way to learn it.
