It is amazing how the author transports you into the 50's, but he does it easily. The train ride through the alto plano with all the characters is well worth the trip with even a murder mystery thrown in! The mystery is who out of everyone who hated the victim hated him the most to murder him. A tale of times and attitudes gone by.KRW Commercial Car Accident Lawyershttp://www.krwlawyers.com/startup_San-Antonio-Wrongful-Death-Lawyers.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041753785577045651.post-63151940196112041612017-11-30T05:13:40.769-05:002017-11-30T05:13:40.769-05:00This is a fine book.

It is noir, it's not really mystery, it doesn't feel like mystery, and it's a compelling introduciton to Bolivia for those of is who have never been there. I would guess that having worked outside his country for years sharpened the author's eye for it once he returned.<br /> ===========================<br />Detectives Beyond Borders<br />"Because Murder Is More Fun Away From Home"<br /><a href="http://detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com</a>Peter Rozovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977933481463759162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041753785577045651.post-89515081106419201632012-07-05T05:30:08.863-04:002012-07-05T05:30:08.863-04:00Wow!

I haven't read many books that would be categorized as noir mysteries, but this one whets my appetite. Thanks for the outstanding review, and for bringing a little attention to this interesting read. Great review today!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
