Raquel V. Reyes

Raquel V. Reyes was raised in oppositional cultures. Her early childhood was not unlike an I Love Lucy rerun with a heavy-accented, handsome Cuban father and a red-headed Southern mother whose smile brightened the room. A short story fan all her life, she has had stories published in several anthologies, including Mystery Most Theatrical, In the Midnight Hour, and Trouble No More. She lives in Miami, where she watches the waters for mermaids and leviathan.

Reviews for Mango, Mambo, and Murder

[kamben79 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I wanted to like it, but....I can't handle reading about a wonderful woman being treated so spectacularly foul by her MIL and husband and doesn't ever step up to demand the respect she deserves! I listen to this genre because I know that good guy always wins. Not so much with this book!

It took me a bit to get into this story. Luckily the longer I listened the more I enjoyed it. There are a lot of different characters which I had a bit of a problem keeping track of. I think for the next book in the series I'm going to keep a written playbook.

My favorite part of the book is where the real culprit gets arrested. That and Mannygets a special gift.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good cozy mystery and cultural diversity.

It was a good listen. A lot of Spanish phrases without explanation but I put two and two together. I hope there's another book coming....
