Suicide in Salobrena is the third in the series about the detective Max Castillo. I've read all three books and each one just keeps getting better than the last. While this one was a gift for a review, I have purchased Mr. Thomson's books and will continue to do so. In this book, Max and friend Cari go to a wedding in the coastal town of Salobrena. They stay at Hotel Tauro where a famous author committed suicide a few days ago. The author's wife does not believe her husband would kill himself despite overwhelming evidence. She hires Max to find the truth. The book keeps you interested as Max delves into the lives of the people of the town and the guests of the hotel.Mr. Thomson does a great job of making his characters believable. Max seems to come more alive with each book. While he is smart about some things, you feel sorry for his ineptness with people. I would definitely recommend not just this book, but the whole series to anyone who likes a good who-done-it.
