Susan Muller has written a different kind of police procedural, one that involves an intriguing paranormal element and a cast of conflicted characters.When Detective Ruben Marquez is called to investigate a grisly murder on his mother's street, he encounters a series of dead ends. His frustration mounts as his mother, Mamacita, refuses to co-operate and starts showing signs of physical decline. His encounter with Tessa Reyna, the victim's niece, further complicates his life. The beautiful Tessa pushes all his buttons and manages to get under his skin.Ms. Muller has expertly woven all these threads to produce a well-written story with enough twists and turns to keep us reading well into the night.I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
