There are coincidences that make life a little more beautiful. This happened to me recently with the author of APPLETOWN (Pagès Editors), David Marín. I remember perfectly how one day Sebastià Bennasar, a great crime novelist from the agency, recommended me to read a book by David that I liked very much. In time I realized that the David Marín I had just read was the same David Marín I met during my teenage years during a stay in Enviny. That’s how life has given us a new opportunity to resume our friendship through literature. 

APPLETOWN, the latest book by David, presents Marcel Riera, a journalist from Lleida who is involved in an investigation into a murder plot. As the story gets more complicated, Marcel starts writing a crime novel with the aim of conquering the beautiful Sonia. However, the confusion begins when the two planes of reality converge into one and the story becomes a winding road full of surprises. This is a genuine, addictive and very well worked novel.  Its careful language and perfectly constructed structure make the rhythm agile and the novel flows from beginning to end without any difficulty. Without a doubt, one of the most original points of the work is the metallurgical factor, it is incredible how David manages to interweave the two stories in such a natural and elegant way.

Starting this literary relationship with David Marín has been a real honor. I want to thank him for having trusted me as a guide in the world of letters. I really hope to get international publishers to look at him and want to read him, because I think he is an author with an unquestionable quality and still has a lot to do, say and explain. You can’t miss this addictive book.
