The Crooked Lines of God

The Crooked Lines of God

Our review

This book is ideal if you're looking for more than a simple thriller. It's not a quick and simple novel, as is often the case with the genre nowadays; the author takes his time to tell a story that's deeper than a mere twist ending. His involvement was such that he even chose to voluntarily enter a mental asylum for weeks for research purposes.

Los renglones torcidos de Dios (The Crooked Lines of God) is one of the most thrilling psychological thrillers of the 20th century. It places us in a mental hospital, where Alicia, the protagonist, immerses herself with the goal of uncovering a murderer. It handles mental illnesses with great sensitivity, which is much appreciated, and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire book.

We highly recommend reading it. It won't disappoint you.
