" An okay mystery/suspense. Learned somethings about Cuba "

" I had a difficult time getting through this book. The premise was intriguing and I really wanted to like it, but it was disturbing and violent. I was unable to make any emotional connection to the main character. "

" This was a like for me, but not a really strong like. The writing was fine and the story was engaging, the trouble was just that I couldn't relate to any of it. That is my issue, not the book. I thought the characters were strong for the most part and I could believe the paths they took, but this just wasn't something I connected with. Though saying that, I finished reading it in a matter of two days, so clearly it held my interest enough to keep reading. "

" This story starts out slowly, and then takes a long, long time to go pretty much nowhere. The only mysteries are how and why I finished it! "

" Story had promise, but narration felt like a male author trying hard to write as a female, and it just didn't work for me. "

" This book was really hard to get into until over half way through, then it was just ok. "
- Laura, 1/22/2014
-
" It was OK. Not my favorite from this author. "
- Barbara, 1/21/2014
-
" Good mystery, mostly because of the unusual character (female Cuban cop) and setting (US/Mex border, ski resort), "
- Wendy, 1/20/2014
-
" A mystery novel set in contemporary Cuba and Colorado. I could have done without the sex scenes but otherwise I really liked this book. My favourite of McKinty's novels. (Ok, I have only read 1 other one!) "
- Carol, 1/18/2014
-
" One of the best new writers I have discovered this year. Intelligent, lyrical writing. A step up from The Dead Trilogy (which was pretty good!) "

" Well done, well read (audible). Loved this book, loved the imagery, read it twice. "
- Rhonda, 10/24/2013
-
" There are a lot of hard truths in this book. If you dont like to be confronted by whats happening in America, Mexico and elsewhere you should probably read something else. I loved this book. I cried at the end and played the final CD three times. FIVE STARS. "

" Listened to the audio version of this on a road trip. We couldn't wait to get in the car each day. Fascinating main character. "
- Jenny, 9/26/2013
-
" A suspenseful book with many unexpected twists and turns. A Cuban woman travels to Colorado to avenge the death of her father by a hit-and-run driver near a posh ski town. "
- Janet, 9/2/2013
-
" Not as good as the Michael Forsyth books, but still worth reading. "
- Oliver, 3/4/2013
-
" This is a very smart thriller, something I've come to expect from Adrian McKinty, even though I was late to discover this author and am experiencing his books in non-sequential order. This actress, Paula Christensen, who did the narration, was especially remarkable at expressing the intelligence of the protagonist. An extraordinary audio experience. "
- Richard L. Pangburn, 1/31/2013
-
" A smart, tough and relentless Cuban homicide detective - a woman who channels the soul of Arkady Renko. "
- Michael, 10/2/2012
-
" This book is not just a wonderful thriller, but also a fascinating portrait of Cuban life today, the history of Cuba, and the situation with Hispanic immigrants in Colorado. Disturbing. "
- Catherine, 8/18/2012
-
" I couldn't relate to the main character. Did enjoy the suspense and the unique raw dialogue. "
- Kristi, 4/6/2012
-
" I enjoyed this book and it really surprised me at several turns as it moves from Cuba, to Mexico to the U.S. The plot and changing points of view were occasionally confusing, but it all became clear by the end. "

" I won this on first reads.
This book shows that a daughter's love and the clues can solve a murder over time, distance and culture as well as laws. I found this to be a good read. The distance she went to solve her father's murder was interesting. How she got there was also.
