This first mystery featuring Inspector Ramirez is a mixed bag: Ramirez and coroner/doctor/surgeon colleague Apiro are good characters, with real possibility to be great in future installments, but are bogged down in an-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink plot. The story, of a Canadian police officer charged with a brutal crime while on vacation in a Havana decidedly less appealing than tourist brochures would suggest, suffers from too many complications and a crime so offensive, it may turn away many readers. Blair, and future entries in this series, may be one to watch for, but this first book might be best stopped after completing chapter 60.
