There is no question that this author is a highly skilled and professional mystery/suspense writer.  The suspense in this novel was killing me by keeping me on edge and the “red herrings”  that were so cleverly included kept the mystery going.  Although this is my first book by this author,  the author’s  development of the characters  created a vivid and vibrant mental image, something not all writers are capable of.  In addition, the writing style flowed, making it easy to read and hard to put down.The story starts with Cinnamon and Burro, Civil Rights Investigators from Santa Fe, whom had recently received their PI license when they accepted their first case involving a murder in Gallop, NM.  It just so happened that Cinnamon’s mother  - whom abandoned her and her father when she was six, was believed to be in New Mexico, and Cinnamon was focused on finding her, in order to get answers to a number of questions she had.Despite Burro having “treatable schizophrenia” that seems to be due to his “visions”, the visions have been able to provide clues to whatever case Cinnamon and Burro were working on and the onset of the visions come on with graphic gory descriptions that further ads a dimension to the story.At the risk of spoiler alerts, after you finish this book, you will want to read more.
