Editorial Review
A proposal that combines the crime genre with an intimate and reflective narrative approach. The decision to start with the outcome and work backward in time gives the story a structure that maintains interest in the how and why of the crime. It is especially suitable for readers who value character psychological development as much as the resolution of the mystery, offering a reading experience that goes beyond simple suspense.
