Very interesting and unique characters that you get to know....murder mystery, love, family, all there....A very good read. ( )

This book by Thomas Eidson was a very good read. It is difficult for you to catch the plot, though it is always there. There is comedy relief, murder, shifts and turns and the end is fascinating. The characters are believable and you come to know them. Enjoy the book.

Sister Ria returnsa home to Los Angeles to save her father from murder charges. Years before she had fled from her home where she had been known as Isadora Lugo. To say her father is eccentric would be kind. The truth is he is wildly insane and delusional. How is Sister Ria to save him when she does not believe he is innocent nor will he help her in any way. Sister Ria is faced with the task of determining if the murder is linked to the tragic and terrible childhood she indured at the hands of her father after her mother died. Or if it is the result of the growing pressure between the old(mexican) Los Angeles and the newer (anglo) Los Angeles. Eidson does a very good job keeping the reader guessing between the two! Throw in that he has also done a good job recreating the atmosphere of late 19th century Los Angeles and one has a good historical mystery! ( )
