review 1: What to say about a police procedural about a horrific topic, that of child sexual abuse? Parts are hard to read. The writing is concise, the Cuban characters and background details convincing. I especially liked the device of ghosts that follow along with Det Ramirez, all in all, this along with her first The Beggars Opera offers a glimpse of contemporary Cuba. I hope Ms. Blair continues the series.
review 2: This is the second Inspector Ramirez book and my first and I really enjoyed it. I found all the characters well written and very likable especially Inspector Ramirez and Dr. Apiro. It pulls you in from the beginning, has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and an ending that leaves you satisfied. I found the digs to President Bush a little off-p... moreutting and it contributed nothing to the story, but the author is entitles to her opinion as am I. I wish I had read The Beggar's Opera first but you don't have to. All in all an entertaining read. I received this book from LibraryThing Early Reviewers for an honest review. less
