Why read it?
1 author picked The Invisible Guardian as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I'm a big fan of police procedurals from other countries, and I have always been fascinated by Basque culture. This is the first of an excellent trilogy about a female detective in Basque country. It is steeped in the culture, myths, language, and even weather of the place, its hard history, and its deliberate isolation from the rest of Spain.
Midway through, a supernatural element comes into play – one that may or may not exist only in the protagonist's mind. The trilogy unfolds into growing uncertainty about what is true, what is real, and who any of us is.
