Carlos Barreto, Charli to his friends, is probably the worst detective who has ever wielded a magnifying glass and a pipe in Gran Canaria. However, if reading mystery novels counted as years of academy, Charli would be closer to being a commissioner than an apprentice.

In Las cinco muertes de Jacinto Samitier, the pandemic catches Barreto in Lanzarote, where he works as a bodyguard for an elderly VIP who is a regular on reálitis and celebrity gossip press. On the return flight to Gran Canaria, all passengers test positive, and Charli is forced to spend a week confined in a house in Tafira Baja alongside a group of characters as eccentric as they are suspicious.

The lockdown would already be uncomfortable enough if it weren’t for the fact that one morning one of the guests is found stabbed to death, following to the letter the purest tradition of the novels Charli devours with devotion. Will he be able to solve the crime before reality definitively surpasses fiction?

Miguel Aguerralde delivers a lively and fun novel, a classic whodunit filtered through a Canarian lens, with humor, irony, and a clear homage to the genre.
