En esta familia todos son sospechosos.¡No podrás dejar de leer hasta descubrir al asesino!
Entre el mejor cozy crime y la novela policiaca clásica, la ópera prima de los hermanos Navarro es una carta de amor al género, un homenaje irresistible a Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Hammett y Chandler. Un misterio envolvente cargado de intriga, sorpresas, muertes impredecibles, sospechosos imposibles y unos protagonistas carismáticos atrapados en un escenario aislado en el que el lector se convertirá en un detective más.
En su remota mansión de los Pirineos, los Watson se preparan para celebrar las fiestas navideñas como una familia cualquiera: reencuentros esperados, mucha comida y bebida y la firme promesa de no hablar de política. Pero los Watson no son una familia cualquiera, ya que entre sus miembros se encuentran los tres inspectores de policía más reconocidos del país: Richard Watson, patriarca y sabueso a la antigua usanza; Eugenio Watson, su hijo, obsesionado con el análisis exhaustivo y científico de la escena del crimen, y Florencia Watson, su peculiar y perspicaz nieta. Cuando un grito corta el aire helado de la mañana de Navidad, la mansión de los Watson se convierte en la escena de un crimen. Miriam, la hermana mayor del clan, ha aparecido muerta en su cuarto, sobre un charco de sangre, pero sin herida alguna, y con marcas de haber sido estrangulada. Solo hay algo seguro: el culpable se encuentra dentro de la casa. Richard, Eugenio y Florencia -abuelo, hijo y nieta-, tendrán que poner a prueba sus diferentes métodos para resolver el caso antes de que el asesino ataque de nuevo. Los detectives protagonistas de Mi familia y otros asesinos Richard Watson: El abuelo. Inspector de homicidios retirado y una leyenda del Cuerpo. Sabueso a la vieja usanza: va siempre con su instinto por delante. Eugenio Watson: El hijo. Inspector de homicidios en activo. Muy formal, pero siempre agradable. Obsesionado con el análisis científico de las pruebas del crimen. Florencia Watson: La nieta. Futura inspectora de homicidios. Friki del k-pop, es el verso suelto de la familia. Un verdadero genio de la deducción. Cada uno de los tres inspectores sirve de homenaje a una época y un estilo de narrativa distintos dentro de la historia del género negro. Florencia Watson recuerda a detectives propios de las novelas de Agatha Christie: es una investigadora tan improbable como miss Marple y tan excéntrica como Poirot o Benoit Blanc, de Puñales por la espalda. Su abuelo, Richard Watson, es una versión de Phillip Marlowe o Sam Spade actualizada y avejentada. Es un tipo duro en una época en la que ya no se llevan los tipos duros. Con respecto a Eugenio, tiene cosas tanto de Sherlock Holmes, por su capacidad de reconstruir lo que ha pasado a través de las evidencias y por su falta de habilidades sociales, como de los policías más modernos de C.S.I. Las diferencias entre ellos generan una competitividad que hará que cada uno de los Watson se esfuerce por ser el primero en resolver el crimen y demostrar que su método es mejor que el de los demás. ¿Quién será el vencedor? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this family, everyone is a suspect.
You won't be able to stop reading until you find out who the killer is!
Somewhere between cozy mystery and classic detective fiction, the Navarro brothers' debut novel is a love letter to the genre, an irresistible homage to Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Hammett and Chandler. An engrossing mystery full of intrigue, surprises, unexpected victims, unlikely suspects and charismatic protagonists in an isolated setting where the reader takes on the role of detective.
In their remote mansion in the Pyrenees, the Watsons are preparing for the Christmas holidays like any family: eagerly awaited reunions, plentiful food and drink, and a strict promise to avoid talking about politics. But the Watsons aren't just any family. They count among their members the country's three most celebrated police inspectors: Richard Watson, the patriarch and an old-school detective; Eugenio Watson, his son, obsessed with exhaustive and scientific analysis of the scene of the crime; and Florencia Watson, his quirky and insightful granddaughter. When a scream cuts through the frigid air on Christmas morning, the Watson's mansion itself becomes a crime scene. Miriam, the eldest sister of the clan, has been found dead in her room, in a pool of blood but with no visible wounds and showing every sign of having been strangled. Only one thing is for sure: The killer is in the house. Richard, Eugenio and Florencia - grandfather, son and granddaughter - must put their different methods to work to solve the case before the murderer strikes again. The detectives of My Family and Other Killers Richard Watson: Grandfather. Retired homicide inspector.
Eugenio Watson: Son. Active homicide inspector.
Florencia Watson: Granddaughter. Future homicide inspector. Each of the three detectives pays homage to a different era and storytelling style in the noire genre. The contrasts between them give rise to a competitiveness that drives each Watson to be the first to solve the crime and prove the superiority of his or her method. Who will win out in the end?

A Brilliant, Emotional, and Unforgettable Sci-Fi Adventure
Format: Paperback
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is one of those rare novels that delivers everything you could want from science fiction: gripping suspense, fascinating science, humor, heart, and a genuinely moving story about survival and friendship.
The novel follows Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher who wakes up alone on a spacecraft with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. As his memories slowly return, the stakes become clear: humanity is facing extinction, and he may be the only person who can stop it. The mystery unfolds at a perfect pace, blending high tension with moments of discovery that keep you turning the pages.
What makes this book stand out is how seamlessly it combines hard science with accessibility. Like the author’s earlier work, the scientific details feel authentic and well researched, but they never overwhelm the story. Instead, the problem-solving becomes the engine of the plot. Each obstacle feels real, and the solutions are both clever and satisfying.
The biggest surprise—and the emotional core of the novel—is the relationship that develops during the mission. Without giving anything away, it adds warmth, humor, and depth that elevate the story far beyond a typical survival thriller. By the end, the novel becomes less about science and more about courage, trust, and the willingness to sacrifice for others.
The pacing is excellent throughout, with a balance of suspense, humor, and heartfelt moments. If there’s a small drawback, it’s that some plot developments feel a bit convenient. But the strong characters and emotional payoff more than make up for it.
Overall, this is a must-read for fans of science fiction, space exploration, and anyone who enjoys smart, character-driven storytelling. It’s thrilling, funny, deeply human, and surprisingly emotional. I finished it feeling both entertained and uplifted. Highly recommended.

Spoiler-free Review - The Martian Dialed Up To 11
Format: Kindle
If you loved the Martian in either book or movie form, Project Hail Mary will likely delight you.
The main character (who I'll leave nameless to avoid spoilers) is nearly identical to The Martian's lead, Mark Watney. They have similar personalities, the same fundamental mission of surviving in a hostile environment, and both use real-world biology, chemistry, and physics to solve their problems from start to finish. The book provides an early test for whether or not you'll enjoy it: on page five, when our protagonist is being quizzed by an annoyingly paternalistic computer that is demanding to know the cube root of eight, our hero replies with the smart aleck answer: "two times e to the two-i-pi". If you find this interaction amusing, all good; if it's off-putting, turn back now.
In fairness, Project Hail Mary shares The Martian's flaws as well. The protagonist's character is a bit better developed - but only slightly. The conflict is entirely man-vs-environment. And though the protagonist is often in situations that might cause one to ponder the essential truths of the human condition, he never does. His personality and behavior as a sarcastic problem-solving scientist / engineer are pitch-perfect but the book rarely goes any deeper. He has an established motivation and a flaw to be overcome - but these are really just superficial grace-notes (see what I did there?). This is not Crime and Punishment. Instead, it's a page-turning action-hero book - where instead of firing shots, the action hero saves the day by doing science really well. Books that celebrate real science are rare, so if that's what you came for, you're going to love what Project Hail Mary delivers.
Although largely similar, there are four main ways in which Project Hail Mary differs on the Martian so I'll touch on those now:
1. The stakes are higher - much higher! In The Martian, Mark Watney is already a bit of a super hero - he's an astronaut after all - and all he really needs to do is stay alive. In Project Hail Mary, our hero is much more of an every-man and his job is nothing less than to save the human race.
2. The Martian is told in chronological order. In Project Hail Mary, our hero awakens with a serious case of amnesia and can't even remember his own name. He starts his adventures at essentially the most dull part of his recent life. As time passes he both tackles dramatic new challenges and remembers the wild adventures that brought him here. Andy Weir does a fantastic job of interweaving the past and the present and the result is a very effective narrative framework that lands on a "Wow!" moment at the end of nearly every chapter.
3. Project Hail Mary is a buddy story. In The Martian, Mark Watney is alone in his battle against the elements of Mars for nearly the entire book. By contrast, Project Hail Mary, once it really gets going, is absolutely a tale of buddy-bonding. This surprised and, ultimately, delighted me. It helps give the protagonist a bit more of a human side. And the team problem-solving scenes are, again, pitch-perfect.
4. Project Hail Mary puts the 'fiction' back in Science Fiction. In The Martian, leaving aside the opening wind storm and the closing chapter of wish-fulfillment heroics, we are essentially in a very tightly written NASA simulation. I found this incredibly enjoyable - but one could reasonably ask, where are the big ideas? Where are the bold 'what ifs'? The answer is, they're in Project Hail Mary! The science is still real and omni-present, but the fiction is big, bold, and awesome. If you're main draw for the Martian was the NASA lore and you wished Weir would write an even tighter sequel detailing the Apollo 13 events, you may be a bit disappointed - but everyone else is going to love this change of pace!
So that's it in a nutshell: Project Hail Mary is a fantastic next book to read after The Martian. It's a clear spiritual successor but brings new ideas and structure to the game. Enjoy!

Excellent Hard Sci-Fi… Until the Politics Pull You Out
Format: Kindle
I was really excited to dive into Project Hail Mary. As a longtime Isaac Asimov fan, I’ve been craving fresh, modern hard science fiction that actually respects the science. This book delivered — at least for a while.
The author injects real science into the story in a way that’s both fun and fantastic. You don’t need to be an engineer to follow it; a solid high-school education is plenty. The concepts stretch your imagination without ever feeling impossible, and for the first chunk of the book I was hooked. I genuinely thought I’d found a new favorite author.
Then the jarring interruptions started.
Out of nowhere you get yanked out of the immersive sci-fi world by modern political pandering that feels completely unnecessary. A random parenthetical about Columbus “discovering an already inhabited world” when comparing something to the New World. Casual pronoun lectures. Characters selected or described by race and identity in ways that scream “check the boxes.” These moments don’t serve the story — they feel injected. Once you notice the author’s leanings, it becomes hard to unsee.
Each time it happens, the fantasy evaporates. It takes several chapters to sink back into the story… only for the next micro-lecture to pull you right back out.
Overall, I loved the writing, the hard science, and the imagination. It’s some of the best sci-fi I’ve read in years. I just wish the author had trusted the story instead of sneaking in real-world politics. It’s like eating the best meal of your life… and then finding a hair or two in it.
Strongly recommended for the sci-fi, with the above caveat.

Engrossing and Thought-Provoking
Format: Hardcover
This is an absolutely engrossing read in the first half of the book, especially--so much so that I actually canceled a social plan so that I could keep reading.
The author shifts effortlessly across scenes and time--the play of past and present is very much part of the book's plot and insight--and I developed a fast curiosity and unsettling investment in understanding our anti-heroine/heroine Natalie. This surprised me, because had a friend not recommended the novel I never would have signed on to spend time in the head of a "tradwife." For me the novel was an imagined and imaginative provocation on American womanhood (and masculinity) in the 21st century, where no options or "performances" seem entirely satisfying or even real. I found it simultaneously disturbing and darkly humorous, especially in its depiction of young women's collegiate lives.
However, readers should have some tolerance for caricature throughout. While I howled at the depictions of the miserable lives of aspiring "modern" women in the dorms and figuratively pounded my fists at the hypocrisy of the tradwife, I was also conscious of hyperbole and exaggeration--no, their lives aren't that bad; nor, I would guess, are the "tradwives" as bad as Natalie, who is a profoundly unlikable character.
I did find that the novel bogged down in its middle and late-middle chapters--the mystery of what's happening to Natalie remains but the momentum seems to stall out into repetition. I also felt that the ending seemed too rushed and too tidy, given the nuance we see earlier in the novel. It ends with what feels like a reductive endorsement of modern (or post-modern) life for women when, earlier in the novel, we get to contemplate the flaws in ALL of the scripts and performances that women--and the hapless Caleb-- are asked to live by, or choose... Indeed, the characters that I would have loved to hear more from are the two who seemed more grounded and, ultimately, perhaps happier than the others: Natalie's sister and even her mother... The concluding exposition felt rushed, as did the analysis, in other words...Some of the religious scenes seemed tone-deaf to me... I'm not an evangelical, but Natalie's relationship to God strained credulity.
**Highly recommend** this to anyone looking for a provocative and engrossing read on women's lives and constraints in the age of social media that engages in a fascinating thought experiment along the way...

An unexpected reading experience!
Format: Hardcover
Very unexpected novel! I went into it without any knowledge or prior information of what it was going to be about. Main character is not a person you would want to be friends. So when calamities happen to her it was hard for me to muster up much sympathy or compassion. It was more of “you had this coming, you deserve every miserable minute”. And boy, there were many! Some harder to believe than others. As I was reading, I first thought- I don’t want to keep this book, it’s not worth saving. But it developed to be definitely the type of story that sticks in your mind, you find yourself revisiting parts and characters and wondering why that happened and why did that person react a certain way. And to me that’s a book worth reading and keeping on my limited bookshelf. So I changed my opinion as I read to the end of the novel. It is certainly a book worthy of a neighborhood book group discussion. I am recommending and sharing my copy to family members and reading friends.
