Summary: Fun Reading
Review: An easy reading, fun book. Particularly interesting if you are familiar with the Cuban American culture and South Florida. A simple suspense novel that follows the goings and comings of a young and hip Cuban American private eye.

Summary: Lupe Solano's Stunning Debut
Review: As a mystery author who writes about the multicultural southern California coast, I've found Carolina Garcia-Aguilera's Lupe Solano series fascinating since I first came in contact with it by way of this debut mystery. Her works are set in Miami, the Florida equivalent of my multicultural home base.

Garcia-Aguilera's protagonist is Lupe Solano, the daughter of wealthy Cuban exiles. Her father dreams of sailing his yacht home to his native Cuba following Castro's demise. One of her sisters is a thoroughly modern nun. Her other sister is a single mother of two. Her assistant is her cousin Leonardo, a bodybuilder. Her lovers are varied and numerous.

In BLOODY WATERS, Lupe becomes involved in the search for an illegally adopted child's biological mother. Garcia-Aguilera's plot takes many twists and turns and becomes one of the most sophisticated first mysteries I have read in years. It is a terrific book, and I recommend it highly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wildly entertaining account of a fast paced life in miami
Review: It took me a little while to get into the story line. Once Lupe runs into the "ever-pregnant" Barbara, I felt it took off but unfortunately, that didn't happen until about halfway through the book. Like other reviewers I enjoyed the look into Cuban-American culture. It is this kind of unique hook that will bring me back to read the next book in the series. Overall, a good average mystery worth spending a couple of days reading
