'There's no better way to find your way around both sides of the social Diagonal bisecting Barcelona than by pursuing the criminal habits of those who profiteer from even the most acute of recessions. While the digressions on culinary specialities are worthy of Catalan crime writer Manuel Vazquez Montalban, those on Hippocrates and the Elamite Empire will delight readers who like their fictional rapids alternated with pools of Zen contemplation.' Independent'An enjoyable, light-hearted read in which homeopathy gets a skewering along the way. The boys do do some detecting, mostly at the unexpected request of the police, all against the backdrop of Barcelona. THE SOUND OF ONE HAND KILLING deliberately leaves some loose ends to be followed up in another book and I look forward to it.' EuroCrimeThe Sound of One Hand Killing is Barcelona-based Teresa Solano's third satirical crime novel to feature her twin brother detectives Borja and Eduard and once again people will be calling her 'the Queen of Catalan Noir'. If they are not, they should.' Getting Away with Murder
