´It´s 6:47 and there´s a dead body on my bed´.
An author at the crossroads of his career, single and not in his best financial shape, David is fighting anxiety and personal vulnerability. But his real troubles start as his date, one of the best in a very long time, dies in his bed. A stranger that promised so much. Together with his adventurous literary agent Stacey, he is starting an adventure across the city trying to figure out who really this mysterious Grindr date was. And especially, who killed him - was it him or who else?
I Might Be in Trouble by Daniel Aleman, his third book - just like our character - but his adult novel debut - is a dark comedy with the thrill of a crime novel in the making. As we are advancing into the reading, there are more and more turns of events that are twisting the course and pace of the story.
David, the main character - and my favorite one - is fun, vulnerable, curious and anxious - not my favorite feature. His (mis)adventures may be for a good reason, saving his career and turning his story into that novel everyone is waiting for. Stacey is a good match for David, and her success-driven mindset is balancing the David´s bohemian mind and indecision.
Also, the cover deserves a special mention, as it is spectacular, with the dosis of dark humour that makes the writing and the story itself so catchy.
Rating: 3.5 stars
