ThoughtsAmaia Salazar has been gifted ever since she was a young girl。 She see's what nobody else notices， and it's that talent that has caught the attention of the FBI。 They need her attention to detail to catch a serial killer dubbed The Composer。 A man who finds his victims after disasters like tornadoes and hurricanes have struck。 Salazar quickly finds a pattern to how the killer chooses his next family， and she notices there is a violin left at every crime scene。 Hurricane Katrina is ThoughtsAmaia Salazar has been gifted ever since she was a young girl。 She see's what nobody else notices， and it's that talent that has caught the attention of the FBI。 They need her attention to detail to catch a serial killer dubbed The Composer。 A man who finds his victims after disasters like tornadoes and hurricanes have struck。 Salazar quickly finds a pattern to how the killer chooses his next family， and she notices there is a violin left at every crime scene。 Hurricane Katrina is set to hit Louisiana， and that's where Salazar and her team are heading in hopes to catch The Composer in the act。There is also another mystery that one of the cops from Louisiana is struggling to solve。 A gang of sorts kidnap young girls at night for trafficking， so not only are they trying to catch a killer they are also looking for the missing teenage girls all in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina。Aside from tracking a serial killer we get a glimpse into Amaia's past。 She was removed from her house where her parents and sisters lived， because her mom was trying to kill her。 Unfortunately her dad is too weak to help her so he takes Amaia to live with his sister。 Her mother！ WOW！ She doesn't want to harm her other daughters so why Amaia？This was such a good read！ Anything that mentions the FBI， Quantico， and serial killer has my utmost attention。 It was interesting to read about the behind the scenes action of an FBI investigation。 Throwing in a real life natural disaster gave a certain chill to the story。 I also like the two different cases， although at first it didn't make sense。 I wonder if there will be another book based on the gang that kidnapped the girls， because I felt that was left wide open。Thank you TLC Book Tours， TLC Diversity， Author Dolores Redondo and Amazon Publishing for my #copy。 This one is available now！Book Rating: 4/5Wine Pairing: Estancia Cabernet Sauvignon 。。。more

After having watched and liked the TV series about the Baztan valley by this author， I decided to order this book。 I was sorely disappointed by this rendition as the plot wanders from story to story without it being able to bring them together。 There are 5 stories in this book。 One is a flashback to the early life of Amaia Salazar in Elizondo。 One deals with a serial killer and another with voodoo。 The story that had the most interest to me is the description of the effects of Hurricane Katrina After having watched and liked the TV series about the Baztan valley by this author， I decided to order this book。 I was sorely disappointed by this rendition as the plot wanders from story to story without it being able to bring them together。 There are 5 stories in this book。 One is a flashback to the early life of Amaia Salazar in Elizondo。 One deals with a serial killer and another with voodoo。 The story that had the most interest to me is the description of the effects of Hurricane Katrina upon New Orleans。 Finally the there is one story that made no sense。 I will say the character development was very good and some of the stories did offer some interesting parts， but over all the book leaves a lot to be desired。 I plan to read the first installment of the trilogy and see where that leads。 。。。more

A complicated but satisfying readThree interlocking storylines make this a novel that cannot be rushed thru。 Evil has so many faces。 Surely there will be a follow-up novel。

Gripping crime novelThis is one of the more interesting crime novels I have read in some time。 The story has a lot of twists and the characters are well developed。 Setting the story in New Orleans during Katrina added a lot to the book。 Well done。

En general， la novela me gustó， aunque hubo capítulos a veces se me hicieron largos。 Me parece que no tiene tanta tensión como las tres anteriores de la serie。 Sin embargo， fue un placer indiscutible volver a encontrarme con Amaia。

Too long for a let down ending I was really hoping for a better conclusion。 The first half wasn’t bad but then it started drifting。 I found the wrap up hasty and unclear， not to mention I’m still not sure what the deal was with Amaia’s mother and dude out in the woods。 Or what Dupree and Bull actually did。 Thumbs down。

The book started out really strong， at 5 stars， but by the time I was done， it was down to 3。5。 Left me feeling very disappointed， and that I had wasted my time。Everything was good until the lead FBI agent （Dupree） completely goes off his most urgent task， and goes off on another （local） case in New Orleans。Also， exploring the heroine’s past traumas was interesting， but it was unsatisfying and boring jumping back and forth， and ultimately it felt forced and unsatisfying in any explanations given The book started out really strong， at 5 stars， but by the time I was done， it was down to 3。5。 Left me feeling very disappointed， and that I had wasted my time。Everything was good until the lead FBI agent （Dupree） completely goes off his most urgent task， and goes off on another （local） case in New Orleans。Also， exploring the heroine’s past traumas was interesting， but it was unsatisfying and boring jumping back and forth， and ultimately it felt forced and unsatisfying in any explanations given。Her having a one night stand with the New Orleans detective seemed unnecessary and gratuitous。The settings were fascinating， and I loved all the local culture with Creole and Haitian character， and enjoyed the parts in Spain， but the mother and the woman with the wolf teeth were over the top。 。。。more

Kindle Unlimited Adiobook。 To be honest， the only thing making this 2。5 instead of 2 was the Katrina setting。 I kept forgetting about the serial killer they were hunting。 The book seemed to go on and on forever。 It also bordered on horror rather than thriller to me。 I finally DNF’d with about 2 hours to go， found I had no interest in finding out who the serial killer was or in what happened to these people。 Just not for me and I won’t go on with the series。 This was translated to English from Sp Kindle Unlimited Adiobook。 To be honest， the only thing making this 2。5 instead of 2 was the Katrina setting。 I kept forgetting about the serial killer they were hunting。 The book seemed to go on and on forever。 It also bordered on horror rather than thriller to me。 I finally DNF’d with about 2 hours to go， found I had no interest in finding out who the serial killer was or in what happened to these people。 Just not for me and I won’t go on with the series。 This was translated to English from Spanish 。。。more

Spanish woman assistant inspector attending an FBI seminar in Quantico， becomes involved in the hunt for a serial killer with a specific MO: killing a family of a certain size after a natural disaster and making it look like the disaster killed them。 The case leads them to New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina。Engrossing how the killer was traced and finally caught。 Much local color in the form of LA voodoo beliefs。 The book was a bit too long at 600+ pp。 It could have been tightened。 A Spanish woman assistant inspector attending an FBI seminar in Quantico， becomes involved in the hunt for a serial killer with a specific MO: killing a family of a certain size after a natural disaster and making it look like the disaster killed them。 The case leads them to New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina。Engrossing how the killer was traced and finally caught。 Much local color in the form of LA voodoo beliefs。 The book was a bit too long at 600+ pp。 It could have been tightened。 A prequel to the author's Baztán trilogy。 。。。more

This is an interesting book that provides insights into a variety of areas， including: serial killers， vodoo and its Spanish equivalent， and killer storms。 The descriptions of Katrina is so intense that it makes you "see" what it must have been like much more than the TV coverage ever did。 This is an interesting book that provides insights into a variety of areas， including: serial killers， vodoo and its Spanish equivalent， and killer storms。 The descriptions of Katrina is so intense that it makes you "see" what it must have been like much more than the TV coverage ever did。 。。。more

An excellent readI'd read the books that preceded this one and though enjoyable， they focused a little too much on myths and legends for my liking。 By broadening the scope of this book and setting it in the period before her previous Salazar novels Redondo has produced a gripping and convincing tale that surpasses the promise of her earlier work。 An excellent readI'd read the books that preceded this one and though enjoyable， they focused a little too much on myths and legends for my liking。 By broadening the scope of this book and setting it in the period before her previous Salazar novels Redondo has produced a gripping and convincing tale that surpasses the promise of her earlier work。 。。。more

The North Face of the Heart is the prequel to the Redondo’s popular Baztán trilogy， which I haven’t read， and is translated into English by Michael Meigs （who oddly turns up as a character: “our team leader there is Michael Meigs， a great guy”）。This novel tries to include it all: Hurricane Katrina and FEMA’s response， multiple dysfunctional families， multiple serial killers， unlikely romance， racism， misogyny， magic realism， good cop/bad cop…。。 The novel would have benefitted from paring down to The North Face of the Heart is the prequel to the Redondo’s popular Baztán trilogy， which I haven’t read， and is translated into English by Michael Meigs （who oddly turns up as a character: “our team leader there is Michael Meigs， a great guy”）。This novel tries to include it all: Hurricane Katrina and FEMA’s response， multiple dysfunctional families， multiple serial killers， unlikely romance， racism， misogyny， magic realism， good cop/bad cop…。。 The novel would have benefitted from paring down to tighten up the story line。At 15% in， I made 4 predictions to myself about what would happen by the end and unfortunately I was 4/4。 Readers who enjoy trilogy will probably enjoy this prequel。 I found it predictable and unfocused。Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to review the ARC via Netgalley。 。。。more

Leftist goopWhen I started this book I wondered at the complexity of characters and plot。 As I got to 30% the Bad Guy was revolved as " evangelical killer " which turned me off， so I rated and went on。 Don't attack your base。 Leftist goopWhen I started this book I wondered at the complexity of characters and plot。 As I got to 30% the Bad Guy was revolved as " evangelical killer " which turned me off， so I rated and went on。 Don't attack your base。 。。。more

The North Face of the Heart is a gripping and thrilling read about a talented detective from northern Spain， Amaia Salazar who is helping FBI agent Aloisius Dupree find a vicious serial killer dubbed “the Composer”。 This psychological thriller is like no other I have read。 It’s disturbing， dark and devious， a delight to read for thriller lovers。 The pacing and reveal is so dramatic and adds to the reading experience。 Don’t miss this！

This is a hard one for me to review。 I liked almost everything about it， except。。。 it could have been half its length and nothing would have been lost。 I loved the Baztan trilogy。 The world building is fantastic， the protagonist's backstory is wonderfully， ridiculously， dramatically terrible， and the stories are well plotted。 This one was， too， and I appreciated the way the author incorporated Cajun folk traditions into the narrative。 The secondary characters were likable， the writing was smooth This is a hard one for me to review。 I liked almost everything about it， except。。。 it could have been half its length and nothing would have been lost。 I loved the Baztan trilogy。 The world building is fantastic， the protagonist's backstory is wonderfully， ridiculously， dramatically terrible， and the stories are well plotted。 This one was， too， and I appreciated the way the author incorporated Cajun folk traditions into the narrative。 The secondary characters were likable， the writing was smooth， the plot was interesting enough， just。。。It could have easily been cut in half to no ill effect。I listened to this one， and it was over 20 hours long。 Kudos to the narrator， who put in a valiant effort， She tried， and she was quite good at doing different voices， but it didn't take long for me to start feeling irritated by some of her strange choices， like having the American characters say "idee-er" for idea。。。 。。。more

I mean， I was sold at "crime thriller centered on the Hurricane Katrina diaspora in Texas， with a Latina and a Black FBI agent as leads。" Add the extra intellectual spice that the [famous， best-selling] author is Spanish， has never lived in the United States， and wrote this with a European audience in mind。Then there’s the added dimension that her English language translator is a Texan deeply familiar with both the cities and the linguistic code switching involved。Even if the translator weren't I mean， I was sold at "crime thriller centered on the Hurricane Katrina diaspora in Texas， with a Latina and a Black FBI agent as leads。" Add the extra intellectual spice that the [famous， best-selling] author is Spanish， has never lived in the United States， and wrote this with a European audience in mind。Then there’s the added dimension that her English language translator is a Texan deeply familiar with both the cities and the linguistic code switching involved。Even if the translator weren't my Dad and the proofreader my bff， I would still have added this one to my Goodreads list。 。。。more

Although I loved the premise of this book， and the story itself was pretty good， it was easily 200 pages too long。 So much fluff could have been taken out and it would have really been a solid 4， maybe even 5 star for me。 When you push past the excessive character development， and the extra stuff that made the police work slower and less interesting， the rest is really solid。 I really enjoyed it but I just can't get beyond 3 star for this- the length really did me in。 Thank you to Amazon Crossin Although I loved the premise of this book， and the story itself was pretty good， it was easily 200 pages too long。 So much fluff could have been taken out and it would have really been a solid 4， maybe even 5 star for me。 When you push past the excessive character development， and the extra stuff that made the police work slower and less interesting， the rest is really solid。 I really enjoyed it but I just can't get beyond 3 star for this- the length really did me in。 Thank you to Amazon Crossing for sending me an ARC for review- this does make me interested in the mentioned trilogy， as I haven't read that yet。 （Maybe I would have loved this one if I had？） 。。。more

Usually a thriller is entertaining， and fine to pass the time。 This thriller is so wonderfully written—the descriptions of the settings and characters are as compelling as the plot。While Amaia is visiting the Quantico FBI Academy with other international inspectors and detectives， she’s especially looking forward to a seminar led by FBI agent Dupree。 Imagine her shock and that of her mentor when Dupree seems to be singling her out during his presentation。 He’s already recognized her as a "needle Usually a thriller is entertaining， and fine to pass the time。 This thriller is so wonderfully written—the descriptions of the settings and characters are as compelling as the plot。While Amaia is visiting the Quantico FBI Academy with other international inspectors and detectives， she’s especially looking forward to a seminar led by FBI agent Dupree。 Imagine her shock and that of her mentor when Dupree seems to be singling her out during his presentation。 He’s already recognized her as a "needle in a haystack" like him—a detective with nearly supernatural instincts。Amaia goes overnight from a trainee to an integral part of the hunt for a serial killer。 With the beautiful and tragic backdrop of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina， what she thinks is just the hunt for the serial killer is also assisting Dupree with chasing monsters from his own past。Usually thrillers are built heavily on the unexpected twists in their plot。 This book was also poetic and inspiring in its descriptions of the historic city of New Orleans， the magic that lives there， and the tragedy brought so suddenly by Hurricane Katrina。 I’d rate this book a high 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it to those who like contemporary stories， thrillers， and drama with some old-school voodoo history。 。。。more
