Synopsis "Violent Delights: An Alma Jaramillo Mystery (in English)"
The novel, Violent Delights, follows Alma Jaramillo, a young journalist based in Avila, Mexico as she tries to unravel the mystery surrounding the birth of Evelyn Hammond. Now fifteen and fleeing from her adopted American parents, Evelyn is determined to find the twin brother from whom she was separated at birth. Against her better judgment, Alma agrees to look for the girl's birth family. Her search leads to secrets hidden behind the high walls of old mansions in San Miguel de Allende. What starts as a simple missing person's case escalates into a confrontation with religious fanatics, human smugglers and powerful moneyed interests. In middle of the chaos, Alma experiences unsettling turmoil in her personal life.Violent Delights not only weaves Mexico's past and present conflicts into a fast-paced story of lying, corruption and murder but opens as well a door into the fascinating color, traditions and cuisines of the country.For the reader who likes to travel to unusual places, savor different cultures, meet interesting characters while enjoying an engaging tale, Violent Delights will more than please. One of the best features of the book is Alma and her family. Refreshingly normal and sympathetic, they represent sanity and grace in a world beset by senseless violence, corruption and greed. This is the second book in the Alma Jaramillo series. Violent Delights also contains a glossary which is almost as interesting as the book itself.
