My last review came down hard on Llosa style.  This is one of his earlier works and stylistically a much easier read.  However, the plot line goes into much more native Andes myths, mysticism, and beliefs some of which are rather scary.  There are parts where I was feeling the fear of the character as I was reading.  This work gets a little more of the horror of some native beliefs and that makes it closer to a horror story than a murder mystery.  Great read.
