8/10
Here's some trivia

Warning: Spoilers
For a reviewer who assumed that the title translated to "infestation", the actual translation is "Haunted". This story is set during the early days of the plandemic, and some of the referrences include the fact that both detectives are dealing with being denied access to loved ones by authorities over the lockdown.

I really loved that the lead detective listened, stonefaced, to a patrol cop who found the victim of an abduction when the cop said something to the effect of: "You'd better wear a mask. This virus is serious". The detective just ignored him. Neither detective wore a mask, except when in the hospital and going into the intensive care unit to see the victim, which to me indicated that they were of above average intelligence. That part of their characterizations and the way the detective just ignored the beat cop is what made me give this one an 8 star rating.

I think that the way the story is set during the lockdown phase of what was being promoted as a worldwide pandemic was just a way of saying that criminals are still committing crimes, and the world is still turning, so investigating these crimes against women is more important than playing a game over an imaginary virus.

That's my take anyway.

The story is more about spiritual forces arrayed against mortals. Maybe you'd need to be Spanish to get how the occult applies to crimes like these. I don't know what's wrong with some of the reviewers here.
