Death Takes Me by Cristina Rivera Garza
When a professor named Cristina Rivera Garza stumbles on a man’s corpse marked by a cryptic message in coral nail polish, she becomes the key informant in a case led by a detective obsessed with poetry. As more bodies appear across the city, the investigation moves through classrooms, poetry, and art in a dreamlike narrative that probes gendered violence, desire, and identity without revealing the mystery’s outcome.
