"Un coctel poderoso hecho con la mezcla de dosis exactas de José Donoso y Dan Brown-- es el triunfo de esta novela dolorosa y tierna, dulce y perversa, entretenida y profunda, que además resulta ambiciosa y certera" Iván Thays, El Vocero

¿Por qué alguien, en vez de huir del fuego, lo que sería natural, corre a su encuentro?

La joven Sofía, con una inteligencia matemática notable, perteneciente a la burguesía de Puerto Rico, habita una hermosa mansión azul y es nieta de un hombre muy poderoso. Sin embargo, todo es una fachada.

La casa ha sido tomada por la enfermedad de su madre, Pandora, quien sufre del Síndrome de Diógenes y ha convertido la mansión en un basurero lleno de cucarachas y mal olor. Su abuelo se torna cada vez más siniestro, su padre Alberto vive encerrado en la burbuja de "no me meto con nadie" y su adorada abuela Marta, se acaba de suicidar.

Si Sofía quiere torcer su destino, debe realizar un acto arriesgado, inédito y es lo que hace: huye de su casa y empieza una historia que la acerca a ardientes e insospechadas verdades sobre su familia y su propia identidad. Para encontrar la verdad, Sofía debe ingresar al centro mismo del incendio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A powerful cocktail made with the mixture of exact doses of José Donoso and Dan Brown--is the triumph of this painful and tender, sweet and perverse, entertaining and profound novel, which is also ambitious and accurate" Iván Thays, El Vocero

Why does someone, instead of fleeing from the fire, which would be natural, run to meet it?

The young Sofia, with a remarkable mathematical intelligence, belonging to the bourgeoisie of Puerto Rico, lives in a beautiful blue mansion and is the granddaughter of a very powerful man. However, it's all a façade.

The house has been taken over by the illness of his mother, Pandora, who suffers from Diogenes Syndrome and has turned the mansion into a garbage dump full of cockroaches and bad smell. His grandfather becomes more and more sinister, his father Alberto lives locked in the bubble of "I don't mess with anyone" and his adored grandmother Marta has just committed suicide.

If Sofia wants to twist her destiny, she must perform a risky, unprecedented act and that is what she does: she runs away from home and begins a story that brings her closer to burning and unsuspected truths about her family and her own identity. To find the truth, Sofia must enter the very center of the fire.

Not as good as "Murder has a motive"
Format: Kindle
Actually, if one looks at the original copyrights of this book and "Murder has a motive" , it is clear this is the second book, not the first. In addition, the notoriety Mordecai Tremaine gained from the Dalmering case is mentioned in the text of this book. This book moves much more slowly than " Murder has a motive" and the secrets of the suspects are harder to figure out. I did notice the murderer's slip up during the murder discovery scene. The book ends abruptly and another character who is a psychopath apparently is going to get away without punishment of his despicable behavior that has been going on for a very long time. The plot is original in nature which is a plus. Because of the plot slowness (I trudged onward to the end) and the lack of justice for the psychopathic character, I had to remove a star for each.

Written in late 1940s, this mystery has a contrived ending, but still is amusing.
Format: Paperback
The protagonist is interesting, and the author set up a potentially good mystery. However, I thought the murder was exceeding contrived and the ending a bit disappointing. Perhaps I was expecting too much.

Great for sensitive skin
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I usually have problems with fragrance in almost any face cream or sunscreen, and my skin reacts very easily, so I’m always careful with what I use. I tried the COOLA Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 50 Sunblock Lotion (Fragrance Free) and I’m honestly impressed. It feels very light on the skin, doesn’t irritate my face at all, and finally a sunscreen that doesn’t have that strong smell that usually bothers me. It absorbs well, works great under makeup, and gives good daily protection without feeling greasy. If you have sensitive skin or issues with fragrance like I do, this one is definitely worth trying.

Love this sunscreen
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I would love to buy again, but I go through sunscreen, I have to find a little less expensive one. No burn, dewy not greasy look. Great for mature skin. No fragrance, works well, melts right in the skin. I do love this product and the spray too!

Light and works with no eye stinging.
Scent: White Tea, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this sunscreen. I wear co tact’s and most sunscreen ends ups burning my eyes. This does not! It has a nice cucumber smell and it’s not sticky or heavy. By far the best face sunscreen that’s light, smells nice, doesn’t burn my eyes and works.
