Rosaura a las diez by Marco Denevi
In Rosaura a las diez,published in 1956 by the Argentine Marco Denevi and winner of the Premio Kraft, the mystery surrounds the sud?den appearance of a young woman in the life of a lonely middle-aged portrait painter named Camilo Canegato. When this woman is murdered and Camilo is accused of the homicide, the mystery takes on bizarre proportions. The gradual un?folding of the mystery involves the reader intellectually, but also holds him captive to the special interests of several narrators. And the unravel?ling and ultimate resolution of the mystery permit the reader to be gratified that his efforts at following the narrative carefully have finally been rewarded.
