In my youth, I had loved a number of South American authors and subsequently found Isabel Allende but unfortunately her writing did not appeal to me. I had picked up this book when initally published 2014/2015 and it had sat on my bookshelves since then, surviving several cullings. At first when I started reading it, I really enjoyed the back stories of the characters even though they were all aggressively stereotypical and thought, oh I had just read the wrong books but as I continued to read it evolved into an exercise in absurdity. The joy of a mystery or thriller is a resolution to a PLAUSIBLE conflict but the story devolved into a feeble attempt to include various characters. On the one hand I am glad I have now cleared a little space on the other hand, I do feel I wasted my time. I do not recommend.
