«Palabras envenenadas» is the young adult mystery novel by Maite Carranza, published by edebé in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Bárbara Molina has been missing for four years; her body never appeared and there is no evidence against anyone. A call to a mobile phone brings together in a single day a policeman about to retire, her mother and the friend who betrayed her. The novel uncovers lies, secrets and false appearances, and denounces child sexual abuse and social hypocrisy.
Published in 2010, it belongs to the Periscopio collection (no. 78) and was awarded the Edebé Prize for Young Adult Literature and the 2011 National Prize for Children's and Young Adult Literature.
The back cover recommends it for readers over 16; it will appeal to those looking for a young adult thriller with a social focus.
