You know what you are going get with a John Scherber novel. The Paul Zacher detective agency, Paul, his girl friend Maya, retired ex-cop and sidekick Cody, and a murder, one or more, to solve. If you haven't experienced San Miguel or Mexico, Scherber exposes you to the culture, the corruption, and the beauty of San Miguel. You will always learn something new about some aspect of Mexico and wonder where does Scherber get his ideas.In this case a young girl turns up dead in a part of San Miguel that caters to the more fortunate. The police sweep the death under the rug, but Maya takes the death personally and wants to flush out the culprit and bring the corrupting influence to bay.Since Paul Zacher is a painter, I always enjoy seeing the world through his eyes.I think this is his best work yet. The scene with the Rose the water-colorist stays with you.
