A review by shadewilson
Un dulce olor a muerte by Guillermo Arriaga
4.0
Imagine being so single you pretend that a dead girl you've seen once is your gf and you get caught up avenging her death.
I was recommended this book over a year ago while wandering through a book fair in Mexico City's zócalo, asking for something representative of the country's literature - looking back, this was an interesting choice but I'm glad I bought it. At the time, I make it through a single chapter, barely understood it, and forgot about it until a month ago.
This story is short yet gripping. Arriaga does a great job painting a picture of the unbearable Mexican heat in rural Lomas Grandes and the culture found there.
