Funny Things To Say Instead Of I Do At A Wedding

Ollos of Auga, Domingo Villar. Column

In Castilian, Ojos de Agua (available in Castilian);)
Inspector Leo Caldas is one of the most important police Vigo, well known for his wit, by radio waves Patrol in a police office where citizens call in and present their complaints.
This time, it's up Leo Caldas investigate the case of a saxophonist who is found dead in his apartment in the tower on the island of Toralla. Apparently there is no evidence, apparently all trace has been deleted, but slowly and his assistant Leo Caldas Rafael Estévez will pull one thread that has to try to discover who is behind it.

A novel I been fascinated by many things: first, the plot, the second, the intrigue, the third narrative, the fourth, the humor ... so I can continue with many more items. Starting
plot is carefully prepared and organized, very detail, to ensure that situations with no apparent gain importance later. It's a story that begins with many threads, with many loose ends, that the author finally tied with mastery and perfection. Actually, we have a complex plot that has been meticulously note worked to manage to be incredibly realistic and unexpected.
I have found a detail that I love, which is the division of chapters. Far from number or title, the author begins each chapter with the entry in the dictionary for a word to be mentioned in this chapter we started. I found it very original.
thing that has contributed greatly to my enjoyment of this novel is its setting. This novel takes place in the city of Vigo, which I know, I visit often and is very close to my city. I love that Leo Caldas Vigo and mention walk the streets, restaurants, squares and bars because it makes me feel much more immersed in the story.

This novel also has some fantastic and frequent touches of humor, sharp humor, intelligent and quite Galician made me die of laughter. Actually, is a nice "self" to the ambiguity of the Galician and his habit of answering questions with other questions. It's hilarious agent Rafael Estevez, assistant Leo Caldas, a resident of Vigo Zaragoza from just three months before the time when this story unfolds. He is a man who despairs that ambiguity Galician and with whom I've laughed with laughter clean.

- Sorry, Guzman apologized inspector. I lingered at the station until the last minute. Do you know Rafael Estevez? He asked, turning to his assistant.
- Once we have agreed to the station, confirmed the doctor.
- How is the inspection? Asked Rafael Estévez.
- is going.
- Ya-Estevez said. Then he added under his breath: "There is always so explicit.

All characters in this book give the impression of being people of flesh and bone. Domingo Villar was able to create characters and very different personalities and very realistic to make their characters on people you could meet any day in the street, with the difference that you know exactly what they are. Great care has the main characters, although I've had a little lack them to reveal more details about his past, allowing us to know them better. All the secondary characters are also very realistic, but here the author falls more in his mistake of giving little information about them, and most know more things than we should.
Of course, this detective story can not miss the intrigue. The question to resolve is open from the first until the last moment, the little details that lead to final resolution are fascinating, and all the characters, situations and revelations in between we are absolutely stunning, from first to last. All this forms a completely unpredictable and inseparably novel, suffice to say that the senses are not final until it is revealed in recent pages. Obviously, this great expectation contributes to a quick read and a very fast pace. The novel engages from the first page, but the more we approach the end we will be more difficult to release.


Domingo Villar recounts his work with ease and professionalism of a true veteran, fascinated by its complex plot, its charismatic characters and clever humor, which form a hilarious novel, intriguing and grabs the reader from beginning to end. His style as a writer may not be a huge language exquisite decors, but I am sure that neither you, nor need.
