Review:
Where do i begin with this review?!
This was my first time reading a Historical Mystery Novel by Silvia Moreno-Garcia so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i enjoyed this one more then i thought i would.
This book was about Maite, A Politicians Secretary who helps a Local Detective Elvis El Mango solve her friend's murder in June 1971 Mexico.
The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Maite was definately my favorite even tho at times she came off as a "Know it All" when helping Detective El Mango solve the murder. Kind of like Jessica Fletcher is in "Murder She Wrote".
The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in June 1971 while reading especially when the scenery and musicians were described.
Overall a Good Historical Mystery Novel!! I do wish this was part of a series cause i'd love to see what other Murders Maite and Elvis would solve.
Can't wait to read more by Silvia in the future!!
