So the Doves
by Heidi James"More than a mystery, this fascinating novel is an investigation into loss, loyalty, and the lies people tell each other and themselves." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) Marcus Murray was only 17 when his best friend Melanie vanished from his hometown in oceanside Kent. Afterward, she seemed like a figment of his imagination — she became a story, a myth, a series of actions and consequences incorporated into his own history. Working as a journalist years later, Marcus is flush with success at having uncovered a corrupt alliance between a U.K. bank, the arms trade, and the government. So he's a bit disconcerted when sent from London back to Kent to report on the finding of a corpse during a railway excavation. Worse yet, his moral and professional triumph is called into question by charges of fabrication. While Marcus chafes at his exile and fears for his reputation, the hometown atmosphere evokes thoughts of the long-lost Melanie and her mysterious disappearance. Recounted in chapters that alternate between events from 1989 to the present, So the Doves poses thought-provoking questions about identity, offering a poignant meditation on memory and loss. "So the Doves is an unforgettable crime novel. James writes lyrical prose, combining a compelling plot with a portrait of a man forced to question the entire basis of his life." —The Sunday Times (U.K.) Crime Book of the Month "A twisty, paranoid cat-and-mouse thriller with moving undertones about friendship, youth, memory, desire and the unfinished business of the past, So the Doves kept me up at night frantically turning pages until the very end. It'll do the same for you." — Tim Murphy, author of Christodora and Correspondents

Sobredosis de Cupcakes (Serie Cupcakes #2)
by Bethany LopezSalí con mis amigas para disfrutar de una muy necesaria noche de chicas, mientras me preguntaba si beber otro martini sucio me llevaría al límite. Lo siguiente que supe fue que estábamos en medio de una situación en la que ningún grupo de mujeres en su mayoría borrachas debería estar. Todo comenzó cuando Bea dijo que necesitaba ir al baño, lo que llevó a Amy May a decir que estaba a punto de estallar, y Carmen y yo decidimos que deberíamos ir todas para volver a la pista de baile lo antes posible. Fue nuestra suerte que desde el baño de atrás escucháramos a una mujer gritar: —No —y la voz de un hombre decirle—: Sé que lo quieres. Ese imbécil eligió el baño equivocado, en el club equivocado, en el momento equivocado. No sabía que era el vicepresidente de Cade. Y, aunque la salvamos de sus garras esa noche, un mes después, la encontrarían flotando en la piscina de un motel... lo que causaría el primer problema que Cade y yo tendríamos que enfrentar como pareja. Bueno, eso y Branson Braswell. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que extrañaría los días en que mi mayor problema era mi ex idiota e infiel?

Estaba comiendo tantos cupcakes como nuestro nuevo cachorro gastando tapetes absorbentes y si no tenía cuidado tendría una Sobredosis de Cupcakes.
Sobreviviendo
by Arantza PortabalesTras el éxito de la serie de Abad y Barroso, el thriller ganador del Premio de Novela por entregas de La Voz de Galicia, por la nueva dama de la novela negra española. «Arantza Portabales consigue que el lector sospeche de todos. [...] Negra, muy negra.»Carmen Mola «Una de las autoras de novela negra más de moda, más reconocida, más potente.»Carles Francino, La Ventana (Cadena SER) Tras la muerte de su marido (el magnate Matías Wagner, con quien se casó a los quince años embarazada), Val Valdés se presenta a Sobreviviendo, el primer reality show que se emite en España, y pone patas arriba la televisión nacional. Val consigue enamorar a todo el país y ganar el concurso, con cuyo premio funda un imperio empresarial y se retira de la vida pública hasta que, varios años después, se entrega a la policía como culpable del asesinato de Dani Leis, un antiguo compañero de colegio en Santiago de Compostela. Como Joël Dicker o Pierre Lemaitre, Arantza Portabales ensambla con gran precisión y ritmo frenético las piezas de una intriga absorbente alrededor de una protagonista de excepción: Val Valdés, una mujer triunfadora que no deja de saborear la derrota. La crítica ha dicho:«Arantza Portabales escribe novelas de género sobrias y con buenas tramas, algo que puede parecer poco, pero que es mucho vistos algunos dislates. Lo hizo en Belleza roja y en La vida secreta de Úrsula Bas, así que esperamos con ganas ya en marzo Sobreviviendo.»Juan Carlos Galindo, El País «Vertiginosa. [...] Todo encaja milimétricamente. [...] Recomiendo encarecidamente su lectura.»Ramón Nicolás, Fugas «Una historia intrigante y de ritmo ágil [...] que teje una trama cautivadora en torno a una protagonista no menos fascinante.»La Voz de Galicia «Corta, intensa [y] escrita con oficio literario.»Xosé Carlos Caneiro, La Voz de Galicia La crítica ha dicho sobre Belleza roja:«Un cadáver y seis sospechosos.

[...] Recuerden este nombre.»J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo «Como suelo hacer en cuanto me llega una novela de género policíaco, la abro y busco la frase que me atrape. Abrí al azar Belleza roja y saltó la frase a la primera de cambio. [...] Una muy recomendable novela.»J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, Qué Leer «En los últimos meses me he topado con extraordinarios autores y autoras de nuestracornisa cantábrica que me han fascinado. Para muestra esta Belleza roja que se desarrolla en un cautivador Santiago de Compostela y que me ha seducido desde la primera línea.»Libreros Fnac Y sobre La vida secreta de Úrsula Bas:«Confirmación de que la excelente Belleza Roja no era un espejismo. [...] Una novela negra en la que los resortes del procedimental se manejan con esmero. [...] Un ritmo que se basa en la sabia administración de la historia.»Juan Carlos Galindo, Babelia «Un divertidísimo desafío que no decepciona con su final y nos pone a prueba hasta las últimas páginas.»Marina Sanmartín, ABC
Sobrevivientes: Premio Clarín de Novela 2012
by Fernando MonacelliEntre el suspenso y la emoción, Sobrevivientes nos habla de un país al que le cuesta reescribir su historia pero no puede olvidar sus deudas. Premio Clarín de Novela 2012 El cadáver congelado de un soldado que peleó en la guerra de Malvinas a bordo del crucero General Belgrano aparece en una balsa en la Antártida al fundirse el hielo. Han pasado veinticinco años desde el conflicto, veinticinco años de incertidumbre para su madre, una mujer que, en medio del dolor de enterrar por fin a su hijo, despierta a la esperanza de tener un nieto vivo, cuya probable existencia es revelada por un diario que llevaba consigo el conscripto al morir. En la búsqueda de ese nieto la acompañará una destacada periodista de investigación. Ella también ha sufrido una pérdida: la de su marido, que luego de la crisis de 2001 partió a España en busca de trabajo y no volvió a dar señales de vida, y la de su pequeño hijo, a quien se sintió incapaz de cuidar y dejó a cargo de su suegra. La pesquisa sacará a la luz una trama de corrupción política e iniciará una profunda amistad entre la periodista y la madre del conscripto; cada una encontrará en la otra la ayuda, el amparo y el amor que les faltaba y será el salvavidas que les permitirá rescatar sus vidas del naufragio. El jurado ha dicho... «La vida termina, pero el recuerdo la convierte otra vez en una esperanza. La memoria es la esencia de esta novela.»Juan Cruz Ruiz «El suspenso de la novela no es el de un thriller sino el de las emociones. Porque Sobrevivientes es también una historia acerca de la maternidad, de las distintas maternidades, miradas sin prejuicios ni falsos estereotipos.»Claudia Piñeiro «Sobrevivientes es una historia de amor, o más bien, de cómo una mujer aprende a amar. Pero también es un retrato de la Argentina del presente, de las cicatrices del pasado y de las personas que buscan un futuro.»Santiago Roncagliolo
