Death and All That Follows, by Javier Piñol Serra

After their mother’s sudden death, twins Sara and Nico return to Santa Magdalena, a sun-soaked coastal town whose beauty masks a history of secrets, violence, and unspoken pain. Sara, a driven lawyer, finds herself captivated by Zoe, a glamorous photographer who challenges her to reclaim power and desire, while Nico drifts into the orbit of Christian, a radical zine editor whose intensity mirrors his own unresolved anger.

As grief fractures their worlds, the twins confront the shadows of their childhoods—abuse, silence, and exile—and uncover truths their family tried to bury. In a place where privilege conceals decay and curiosity can be dangerous, Sara and Nico must navigate obsession, betrayal, and the seductive pull of danger.

Death and All That Follows is a haunting, slow-burning exploration of grief, identity, and the psychological residue of a world obsessed with visibility and digital influence, where the past never truly lets go.
