Über diesen Titel

'Electrifying' - A.J. Finn, bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

A Sunday Times Best Thriller Book of the Year. Shortlisted for the CWA Crime Fiction in Translation Dagger. More than two million copies sold in Spain alone. Red Queen is the first in Juan Gómez-Jurado's internationally bestselling serial killer thriller series, translated by Nick Caistor. Now an Amazon Prime Original series.


This audiobook includes an exclusive interview with the author.

You've never met anyone like her . . .

Antonia Scott is special. Very special. She is not a policewoman or a lawyer. She has never wielded a weapon or carried a badge, and yet, she has solved dozens of crimes.

But it's been a while since Antonia left her attic in Madrid. The things she has lost are much more important to her than the things awaiting her outside.

She also doesn't receive visitors. That's why she really, really doesn't like it when she hears unknown footsteps coming up the stairs.

Whoever it is, Antonia is sure that they are coming to look for her.

And she likes that even less . . .

Praise for Red Queen:

'A Spanish spin on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . . . A female Sherlock Holmes' - The Times

'Often compared with Lisbeth Salander . . . Antonia Scott looks destined to leave every bit as lasting an impression.' - Daily Mail

'This fast-paced story crackles with energy as it roams between Madrid's most exclusive enclaves and seedy back streets' – Best Books of 2023, Financial Times

The comparison to a female Sherlock Holmes with a cop Dr. Watson is to the point. But that doesn't diminish the book.
The key elements of the genie that struggles with exactly that hyperactive brain, the bromance between the two main characters, the companion with a big heart and down to earth attitude, (also some things I won't write here as not to spoiler too much) are found in this emotional and thrilling story.
All these things are good ingredients, and the sometimes sexist (probably at least in part caused by the time of writing) views of the original Sherlock are reconciled by Antonia Scott being a woman.
The second and most important difference is the writing style. Instead of the fixation on the hyperanalytic brain, Scott and the story are very emotional. I laughed and cried and bit my nails.
All in all, the author took the best parts from Sherlock and made them his own by writing with his voice and his story.
I can only say I loved the book and can't wait for the sequel
Not to forget the very good work of Scott Brick, who is an outstanding narrator who did the characters and the story justice, and has a very pleasing voice.

Great book and great narrator
