Summary

Now an Amazon Prime Original series, Red Queen is the first in Juan Gómez-Jurado's internationally bestselling thriller series, translated by Nick Caistor. Winner of the Cognac Prize 2022 with more than two million copies sold in Spain alone.

This audiobook includes an exclusive interview with the author.


'Red Queen is one of the most extravagantly entertaining novels I’ve ever read. It's an electrifying serial-killer thriller, fiendishly clever puzzle mystery, and sensitive portrait of a fascinating young woman. I loved every word.' - A.J. Finn, bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

'Best thriller books of 2023' - Sunday Times


'A Spanish spin on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . . . stylish and stylised . . . A female Sherlock Holmes' - The Times

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 awhile 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.

Grippingly good

I really enjoyed listening to this. Scott Brick does a great job of taking us into the world of Antonia and John. I loved the characters complexity, the uniqueness of the story and its complexity was refreshing.

Complex

An interesting and twisted plot that cracks along at a good pace. The characters are complex and drew me in, the writing is well crafted. If you liked the Dragon Tattoo series you’ll enjoy this.

Unnecessarily complex

All readers like a twists in the plot but the author went out of his to make this convoluted, the story is basically Holmes and Watson in a modern Spain, sets itself up for the following books, I enjoyed it but felt it could have been less whimsical, narration saved the day and kept me listening
