• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The action kicks off in a chicken shop in Madrid where Consuelo, a 62-year-old widow, finds herself confronted with a mysterious face that suddenly appeared on the floor of her shop. Is it a religious apparition? A plot by the poultry mafia? Or even a ghost? And could a peculiar change in her cat's fur have anything to do with all of this? Her unusual encounter lets her embark on an unexpected journey full of shocking surprises, startling twists and astonishing discoveries. With her dark humour and keen wit she tries to reveal the truth that lies beneath the face, which in turn leads her to one of the most extraordinary unsolved mysteries in contemporary Spanish history. But was she really meant to uncover the secret? Is her quest guiding her into a dangerously new direction that could change her life forever?

Two Cats and a Chicken Shop Mystery is a funny mystery novel, whose simultaneously amusing and compelling story leave the reader flabbergasted from its opening pages to its stunning finale. It is a fast-paced and intelligent reading experience that takes a sly satirical look at some of the most abnormal phenomena through the eyes of a very normal character. At the same time the story combines a variety of real-life events, both past and present, in Spanish history which places its subtle plot in a more than relevant current setting. The page-turner with real world investigation puts the genre of arcane thrillers into a humoristic, yet convincing new scenery.

Autorenporträt

Conny Jansky was born in Austria where she studied International Development Studies as well as Business Informatics. After living and working in several countries, she moved to Madrid, Spain, where she has been living since 2009.

Arriving at one of the hotspots of financial turmoil, she was inspired to write her first novel "Two Cats and a Chicken Shop Mystery" which was published in 2012. The story recounts real events from the peak of 'la crisis' and fuses them with fictional references to Spanish history and contemporary mythology that were inspired by research on sociology of miracles. The Spanish translation of the novel, "Dos gatos y el misterio del Mercado de la Cebada", was published in 2014.

Her latest work takes up George Orwell's famous "Animal Farm" (1945) and continues its plot as a historical review of modern industrial societies with a sarcastic interpretation of the myth of perpetual growth in the context of the ongoing climate crisis and mass extinction of species. "A Donkey's Diary" was written in free-range conditions and published during the coronavirus quarantine in spring 2020 from where the author is developing her next story on social change during times of historic transformation.
