I was immediately drawn into the intriguing world painted on such a rich canvas by writer Tower Lowe. She writes about the Southwest, which is an under explored world in fiction, which is surprising because there so so many possibilities to consider about that amazing part of the country.I found the murder mystery at the heart of this book most interesting and it held my interest till the very end. But what fascinated even more were the characters of Cinnamon and Burro....especially Burro.  Cinnamon and Burro are Civil Rights investigators who are completely different, and yet compliment each other perfectly.Obviously the writer has put in a lot of thought on how to present her  protagonists and on their back-stories. Burro in particular is a fascinating character. He has treatable schizophrenia, which results in him having flashes or visions that often lead to unpredictable consequences. The story of Cinnamon and her Momma is also quite interesting and it explains a lot about Cinnamon's character.And I was completely dumbstruck the end, which I least expected. In fact the twists and turns the book takes almost every page often leaves the readers gasping for breath! Fun book, great characters, 5 stars for sure!
