Elena Knows

Claudia Piñeiro

Shortlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize

After Rita is found dead in a church she used to attend, the official investigation into the incident is quickly closed. Her sickly mother is the only person still determined to find the culprit. Chronicling a difficult journey across the suburbs of the city, an old debt and a revealing conversation, Elena Knows unravels the secrets of its characters and the hidden facets of authoritarianism and hypocrisy in our society.

Reviews of Elena Knows

'Not for nothing is Claudia Piñeiro Argentina's most popular crime writer. Betty Boo is original, witty and hugely entertaining; it mixes murder with love, political power and journalism' –The Times

'A gloriously taut and haunting tale' — Denise Mina

In Piñeiro's artful hands, each of her investigators learns as much about himself or herself as about the murder on the way to the surprising, perfectly executed ending' –Publisher's Weekly

'Piñeiro is AWESOME. Her books are dark, have buckets of atmosphere, and they all feel entirely different' –Book Riot
