Review of 'El librero' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Un cuento pequeñito y fácil de leer, entretenido, aunque realmente esperaba algo diferente.

En la trastienda se teje un negocio particular en coordinación con su asistente, aprovechándose de la ingenuidad de algunas viudas de hombres acaudalados y la investigación de los intereses de los fallecidos. Sin embargo, hay aspectos que no han considerado y que les llegan a pasar factura.
