Description
Electrifying - A.J. Finn, bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
A Sunday Times Best Thriller Book of the Year. More than two million copies sold in Spain alone. Red Queen is the first in Juan Gómez-Jurado's internationally bestselling serial killer thriller series, translated by Nick Caistor.
You've never met anyone like her . . .
Antonia Scott is special. Very special. She is not a policewoman or a lawyer. She has never wielded a weapon or carried a badge, and yet, she has solved dozens of crimes.
But it's been a while since Antonia left her attic in Madrid. The things she has lost are much more important to her than the things awaiting her outside.
She also doesn't receive visitors. That's why she really, really doesn't like it when she hears unknown footsteps coming up the stairs.
Whoever it is, Antonia is sure that they are coming to look for her.
And she likes that even less . . .
Praise for Red Queen:
'A Spanish spin on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . . . A female Sherlock Holmes' - The Times
'Often compared with Lisbeth Salander . . . Antonia Scott looks destined to leave every bit as lasting an impression.' - Daily Mail
'This fast-paced story crackles with energy as it roams between Madrid's most exclusive enclaves and seedy back streets' - Best Books of 2023, Financial Times

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Red Queen has been acclaimed as an electrifying serial-killer thriller and a fiendishly clever puzzle, often compared to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Critics praise its brainy storytelling and striking depiction of Madrid’s dual nature. The dynamic between Antonia and Inspector Gutiérrez adds originality, while Nick Caistor's translation shines. The Times calls it a 'Spanish spin on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' and a 'female Sherlock Holmes'. The Daily Mail highlights Antonia Scott as a character destined to leave a lasting impression.
