Manual for Murder is a well written, gripping and fast-paced story with well-developed characters.
How far would we be willing to go and how much would we be willing to sacrifice to get what we desire. Does Love justify murder?
The story is told by two narrators, Marina, who is bored with her everyday life and begins an affair with a married coworker, and Oscar, a detective, who is put against a cunning murderer.

Se acerca El Buen Dictador II (versión castellana)
La traducción está hecha, la revisión anda en buen ritmo y ha queda poco para que la segunda parte salga. Yo diría que en Marzo o Abril saldrá.

Delay in the French translation
So, the French translation for Manual for a Murder it's with delay. It's going to be out there, probably, at the beginning of next year - between February and April. Sorry about that.

Another 4 star review on MFM
"Considering that this was translated from Portuguese and some of the wording was off just slightly, (barely enough to make an impact on your reading, but enough to notice) this was a fantastic novel.
At first, you think it's just the telling of a love story. Of two people finding each other, after having known each other for years, and getting together. That in itself was lovely.
Then all of a sudden, things turn dark. And, you almost can't believe what's about to happen and if it will actually happen. No spoilers here, of course!
This book was pretty quick paced, held your interest, and kept you flipping those pages til it was finished. Not to mention, it had great character development. I'm looking forward to seeing what else this author has to offer."

Review on MFM by Darlene - booklover
Another review on Manual for a Muder. Here's the link:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2TM9KMZMED4QR/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07F3VXTHL
"Marina is falling in love with a colleague at work and out of love with her husband. Andre is married with a young son, but he says he loves Marina but can't leave his son.
Marina decides that she doesn't want to be the 'other' woman on the side and the affair is ended. Sometime later, Andre's wife is killed.
Oscar is the homicide detective leading the murder investigation. He finds there are several suspects. One is a colleague with whom the woman argued shortly before her death. She also had a lover that she was no longer seeing. Marina and her husband are both suspect, but it's Andre who is the prime suspect.
There are three parts to this story ... the first is told by Marina, followed by Oscar having his say as he investigates. The last is also told in Marina's voice.
It's not a highly suspenseful story, as the truth is revealed in the first part of the book. The journey that Oscar takes to find the truth is engaging.
This is a well written crime fiction with the translation exceptionally done."
