«Las largas sombras» is the mystery novel by Elia Barceló, published by Ambar Editorial in paperback (456 pages, in Spanish).
The plot begins when Rita, one of five friends who shared a school trip to Mallorca in 1974, returns to the town thirty-five years later. After a women-only reunion, Lena is found dead in her home and the police investigate whether it was suicide or homicide. The investigation brings to light the secret the group has kept since adolescence and forces the protagonists to face the consequences of that summer in their adult lives. The work combines police suspense with a portrait of Spain before the Transition and a reflection on friendship, unfulfilled dreams and the weight of the past.
The novel belongs to the Negra collection from Ambar Editorial.
Recommended for readers of crime fiction and psychological intrigue who enjoy ensemble stories about youthful secrets and memory.
