Besides the police mystery, Vicente Alfonso's novel challenges the reader with an intelligent literary mystery: several narrative voices, time games, surprising ellipsis, musical erudition... Untangling the hanks of the plot becomes as exciting as figuring out their formal apparatus. Music Score for a Dead Woman dignifies the mystery gender and makes Vicente Alfonso a writer of high qualifications. From now on, it will be necessary to follow and pursue him. "Music Score for a Dead Woman can be read as a trio composed for a violinist that dies, a pianist that disappears and a cellist that investigates and is investigated. Murder as one of the fine arts? Something more daily and perverse: a story of obsessions, sex and police ineptitude. Vicente Alfonso approaches the classic music's recurrent topic - the sacrifice of the maidens - and narrates it with blood in contemporary Mexico." Juan Villoro. Además del misterio policiaco, la novela de Vicente Alfonso enfrenta al lector a un inteligente misterio literario: diversidad de voces narrativas, juegos con el tiempo, elipsis sorpresivas, erudición musical... Desenredar las madejas de la.
