Ahoy there me mateys!  I received this historical fiction noir set in Mexico from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  So here be me honest musings . . .

This be the eighth book have read by the author and me eighth five star read.  Her writing floats me boat.  I have said before that what I find amazing about all of the author's books is that they feel so different from each other. I don't even read blurbs for her books anymore. 

I don't really read noir so should have disliked this book but as always her writing is evocative and I was completely engrossed by this story.  Of particular interest in this novel were the historical elements about Mexico that were (sadly) new to me including the Dirty War, suppression of rock music, and romance comic books.  The two main characters are rather unlikeable and yet I was rooting for them anyway.  Seriously I loved the writing.  The only slightly negative thing was that the ending was perfect from a plot standpoint but I still wanted to know what happened to the characters next.

I love Silvia Moreno-Garcia and want more of her books.  Arrr!
