A good mystery novel but the twist at the end wasn’t that surprising! Some of the details were easy to put together

Just finished "Black Widow's Wardrobe" for my American Literature class. The book represents the third in a series of mystery stories featuring P.I. Gloria Damasco. Recommend that you read the Wiki entries for La Llorona and La Malinche before you dive in. In the depiction of the Black Widow’s background, manners, and actions, Corpi draws several parallels between La Llorona, and La Malinche, and Licia Lecuona. Enjoy.

Good mystery, set in the Hispanic community in San Francisco. A woman is released after being imprisoned for murdering her abusive husband. She now thinks she is Cortes's Indian guide/mistress reincarnated. A bit weird, but good.
