Another British writer who has picked up and moved to Spain to write Spanish murder mysteries. Is there room for me? A fun read that nearly had me rushing down to the liquor store to pick up some cognac. I don’t read a ton of mysteries and therefore did not see the twist coming, but I suspect anyone who reads mysteries more than I do probably would have seen it coming a mile away. But never mind, poor Inspector Alvarez is so beleaguered, yet so much fun, it doesn’t matter. ( )
