Review: THE CROSSWORD MURDER, Nero Blanc.Review: AFTER THE SILENCE, Jake Woodhouse.Review: THE NARROW ROAD TO THE DEEP NORTH, Richard. Review: THE TOMB IN TURKEY, Simon Brett.Review: MOSCOW BOUND, Adrian Churchward.Published in 1999 and set in a boarding house/hotel in Rio de Janeiro, this paints a similar picture of life in urban Brazil (see my most recent review of HAPPINESS IS EASY set in Sao Paolo): residents frightened of being mugged or worse, richer residents who travel in bullet proof cars, everyone keeping off the streets at night, but we see things from the seamier side. As the investigation continues other hotel clients are decapitated, usually with the head found delicately balanced on the knees of the sitting victim.Ī witty, touching account of life at the edge of Brazilian society, dressed up as a murder mystery.
