The paper states that although "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" is a true story and is told in a non-linear fashion, it reads
like a
detective story, by combining interviews
written in a narrative, journalistic style. The paper describes the plot of the book: Rigid codes of honor can bring about an innocent man's death and drive two peaceful brothers to murder while the whole town watches and decides to do nothing. The paper's author compares this book to others written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
