Precinct Puerto Rico (Luis Gonzalo, #1) par Steven Torres

This book is the first in a series set in Angustias, Puerto Rico featuring Sheriff Luis Gonzalo. In his years as sheriff of Angustias, a small town in the mountains of Puerto Rico, Gonzalo has seen people kill for all sorts of reasons. During a visit to his wife's family in Rincon, a cozy seaside town, he's called to the beach where bodies of an apparent shipwreck begin washing in. It appears they were illegally trying to escape from the Dominican Republic. Before long evidence begins to reveal that the wreck was not an accident. Soon Gonzalo 19s life is threatened and he begins to suspect that Puerto Rican police officers were involved in the deaths.

This was an interesting mystery series set in an attractive area. I've never read any books set in Puerto Rico and I felt the author gave a good sense of the locale. There are several other books in the series and it was better than I expected. The plot was well paced and compelling enough keep the pages turning.
