An interesting looking into Cuban-American's nostalgia and affection for Cuba even though they only know it from the memories of their parents. A nice mystery and and interesting protagonist.
Really good first novel - mystery. Funny and interesting.
Read it a long time ago but remember really enjoying this entertaining mystery. Solid 3.5 stars rounded to 4.
