Crimes by train - AV (Polillo 2010 - Dachshund n.91)

" Also in this collection of short stories, trains are dangerous places and almost never reach their destination with the same number of passengers alive when they left. "

Like every year, even if close to last Christmas Polillo Publisher has published an interesting story collection of the best writers of the Golden Age. This year the theme was chosen to train as a place of crime par excellence. If today, perhaps the train has lost much of its charm (if you choose to move over long distances?), At the dawn of the detective genre, it was still one of the most modern means of transport and dynamic symbol of speed and taste for adventure. When you think of the yellow train, immediately comes to mind Agatha Christie and her "Murder on the Orient Express" (1933), undoubtedly the most famous and original story ever set on a train. But many authors before police wrestled with Christie's and chose this environment for their adventures by the end of 1800 (in fact, three stories were published towards the end of 800, including one of Sir A. Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes). The very public Christie expressed his The Plymouth in 1923. Besides, she was a great traveler and the train always exercised a great fascination about her in preference to air and ships for its romantic charm. In fact in his autobiography "My Life" wrote: "Trains are a wonderful invention, my love forever. Rail travel is seeing nature, people, cities, churches and rivers, in short, life. "
In the stories in this collection trains used are extremely varied. The trains are privileged English course, whose names already suggest some kind of adventure: The Plymouth Express, the Cornish Riviera Express, the express of the North-Western Railways, the Brighton Line, the Flying Scots, a postal truck and a freight car Great Western Railway. Then there are a couple of adventures set in the London Underground, other trains in Boston as the American & Western and even in Argentina.
Now, my friends, I can only say: get on the train and make yourself comfortable, the killing begins.

Tua - Claudia Pineiro (Feltrinelli 2011)

The back cover says " Crime Family . Chasing a story, by the Hitchcockian atmosphere, that will do you sleep at night . Start
the book one evening, at about 21.30, we remain glued to midnight ... and I finish! I would say that I took those words literally.

Writing is scorrevolissima alternating ego narrator and the protagonist Inès the calls of his teenage daughter Lali with her friend's heart. Inès
finds a note, written in red lipstick (the cover ... but that is beautiful?) And signed "Yours".
What goes on in the mind of a wife who discovers her husband's betrayal? And what do you think after she followed her husband, sees him arguing with another woman fatally beat push it to the ground where his head and dies? That
scornfully to call Tua, her ... the other. That try to justify the actions of her husband, confusing our own mind at the expense of her daughter. Because there is also a daughter and her part in the story.
The story unfolds with Inès that creates a kind a "script" to support her husband, creargli an alibi, his findings do, think, think, find solutions. A trip into the ego psychological, the feats that probably most of women could perform in a similar situation. All for the sake of appearances. Why do
Inès, the important thing is not only being, but also appear. For this assumes that his is a wealthy and happy. What more could you want? Of course now lacking sex but "I have so many beautiful things, I must not stare at me on one that I miss."
There are a couple of twists that I did not expect, for "enchanted" by the reasoning di Inès, non guardavo oltre, a discapito di quell’obiettività che a volte i sentimenti, le emozioni e l’egoismo bloccano la visuale. Fino all’epilogo quasi tragicomico di una famiglia felice e benestante.
Alla fine viene da pensare: fra tutti i protagonisti, quali sono le vittime e quali i colpevoli?
La mia conclusione è che siamo colpevoli delle nostre azioni e nello stesso tempo vittime delle conseguenze che queste azioni creano.
