“The Storyteller’s Death” follows Isla Larsen Sanchez, a young woman who discovers she has inherited a unique gift passed down through generations of women in her family: the ability to see the past stories of her ancestors replay before her eyes. What begins as an enchanting connection to her lineage becomes more urgent and dangerous when Isla witnesses a decades-old murder and realizes the stories won’t stop until she solves it. Set against the vivid backdrop of Puerto Rico, this novel explores themes of family, heritage, grief, and the power of storytelling.

The novel was named one of BuzzFeed’s 20 Highly Anticipated Thrillers of 2022 and appeared on numerous best-of lists including BookRiot, Goodreads, and more. It was also the winner of the International Latino Book Award Gold Medal.
