A beautifully crafted novella that chronicles the honor killing of Santiago Nasar by Vicario brothers in a small village in Latin America. Everyone in the village is aware of the murder plan, everyone tries to warn the to be victim but fails. The story unravels in the form of a journalistic documentary that investigates the murder of an innocent man. It accentuates the passivity of the society and ridicules honor killing n many meaningless rituals n customs. Brilliant !
