I'm not sure I've ever read a thriller as poignant and melancholy as this. I thought it was beautifully written/translated and found it very moving. It wasn't a conventionally fast-paced page turner of a thriller but still pulled the reader in. The portrayal of a country and a city haunted by its past will stay with me, I think. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be seeking out more work by this author.

I've just finished reading The Sound of Things Falling. It's an extremely well written novel, with many layers, and excellent for the insight it gives into Colombia before, during, and after the period of Pablo Escobar's malign influence there. I recommend it.

I just wanted to add, as I don’t seem to find mentions of it from other reviewers, that this book is also about Post-Traumatic Disorder.
