No intentes enga???arla porque su intuici???n nunca falla ???Adictivo, turbio e implacablemente necesario. Pablo Rivero muestra con absoluta destreza el terror silencioso que habita nuestra realidad???. ???ngela Banzas No hay nada m???s terror???fico que una comunidad de vecinos A sus casi ochenta a???os, Felicidad es una mujer independiente y resolutiva que lleva las riendas de su familia y que gestiona los alquileres del bloque de pisos del que es propietaria. Su rutina se interrumpe cuando Candela Rodr???guez, teniente de la Guardia Civil, le informa de que una de sus inquilinas, de avanzada edad, se ha precipitado al patio interior del edificio. Comienza as??? una investigaci???n para esclarecer si se trata de un asesinato. Todo se complica a???n m???s con el hallazgo de un truculento v???deo que podr???a conectar esta muerte con otros ataques a ancianas de la zona y que pone en el punto de mira al entorno familiar de Feli, la matriarca, y al resto de los vecinos, en una comunidad donde muchos entran, pero no todos salen. Despu???s del ???xito de sus anteriores novelas, Pablo Rivero vuelve a meter el dedo en la llaga para construir un thriller inquietante y descarnado que pone de manifiesto la vulnerabilidad de la tercera edad y que invita al debate sobre temas como la exclusi???n social, la brecha digital o la exposici???n de nuestros mayores en las redes sociales. La matriarca es, adem???s, un homenaje a todas esas mujeres que son el pilar fundamental de sus familias. Un laberinto de giros y sorpresas que, a ritmo fren???tico, sacar??? a la luz lo m???s oscuro que habita en cada uno de nuestros hogares, porque, al fin y al cabo, hasta las mejores familias guardan secretos. Algunos, inconfesables. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Don't try to fool her; you'll never get past her intuition. Nothing is more terrifying than a community of neighbors. Nearing eighty, Felicidad is an independent and decisive woman who guides the reins of her family and owns and manages a block of rental apartments. Her routine is interrupted when Civil Guard lieutenant Candela Rodr???guez informs her that one of her tenants, an elderly woman, has fallen to her death in the building's courtyard. An investigation to rule out foul play uncovers a gruesome video that could connect this death to other attacks on elderly women in the area. Scrutiny soon turns to Feli, her family and neighbors in a community that many enter, but not all leave. Following on the success of his previous novels, Pablo Rivero presents a stark and unsettling thriller that lays bare the vulnerabilities of old age, touching on important issues such as social isolation, the digital divide, and the risks to which the elderly are exposed on social media. At the same time, The Matriarch is a tribute to all the strong women who are the pillars of their families. Full of twists, turns and surprises, it's a story that probes the dark corners where even the best families keep their secrets, some of them unmentionable.
