Las Rosas de Mayo by Dot Hutchison (Spanish Edition, Paperback)

For the reader who stays up far too late because they simply have to know what happens next, Las Rosas de Mayo by Dot Hutchison is a gift that will keep them turning pages long after the lights should be off.

This is the Spanish edition of The Roses of May, the second book in Hutchison's gripping Collector series, published by Editorial Planeta in a comfortable paperback format. It follows FBI agents Brandon Eddison, Victor Hanoverian, and Mercedes Ramirez as they race to stop a killer who leaves a trail of victims each spring, every scene marked with flowers. At the center is Priya, a young woman shaped by grief, whose fierce, guarded voice gives the story its beating heart.

What readers love about this series is the balance. Yes, it is dark and suspenseful, the kind of psychological thriller that makes you hold your breath, but it is also deeply human. The friendships, the loyalty, and the quiet healing between the characters stay with you just as much as the mystery itself.

If someone on your list devoured The Butterfly Garden (El Jardín de las Mariposas), this is the natural next step and a gift they will be thrilled to receive. It also works beautifully on its own for fans of crime fiction, true crime podcasts, and twisty thrillers in Spanish.

Wrap it with a cozy blanket, a bookmark, and their favorite tea for the perfect rainy day bundle. Give it for a birthday, a book club exchange, or a Secret Santa where you want to look like you really know them. A great story is a gift that keeps giving every time they open it.
