MixedThe New York Times Book Review\"In a commendable display of chutzpah, he has written an Argentine Gothic ... Loedel’s sense of obligation to the real Isabel might explain why Hades, Argentina can feel dutiful, even workmanlike in places as it catalogs the depravities of the regime she fought ... Loedel’s exhaustive account of the junta’s crimes might be a homage to the long chronicle of violence against women in Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666 as well as to the memory of his half sister and her cause. Alas, it doesn’t always serve the story. Still, it’s fun and sad to follow Tomás and Isabel past the forgotten equestrian statues and dingy cafes of Buenos Aires.\
