An admirer of the author’s concise and convoluted stories with impact, ‘The Mermaid from My Nightmare’ is another testament to Kristina Gallo’s storytelling prowess. Like the taxi meter in Diego’s cab, the read meter in this psychological thriller is running full-tilt boogie with relentless suspense.

Every character who has a brush with Marcia Oliveira, “Mermaid,” is well-developed. Each backstory provides startling information, while interconnecting the lives of Marcia and Marcos; Luciana and Antonio; Marina and Sergio; Dijana.

While I suspected one of them for Marcia’s murder, the shocking ending proved otherwise.

Chock-full of relentless suspense, I highly recommend this story where infidelity spawns persistent nightmares.
