I knew that this mystery series had captured my interest when I read this novel out of sequence because I was so eager to continue. The Ottawa Citizen wrote about this book 'it's the Cuban story that really makes it sing". I respectfully disagree as it was the Canadian part of this mystery that I especially enjoyed. In 1975 at the age of 20 I moved to Kenora where I had my first introduction to the horrible conditions that many of our First Nations live with; mercury poisoning, discrimination, poor water quality, alcohol addictions, poverty and violence. Hungry Ghosts respectfully explores these themes as well as the heartbreak of the murdered and missing Aboriginal women and girls as part of an intriguing murder case. Miigwetch Peggy Blair. Your talent continues to entertain and educate me.

In Cuba Inspector Ramirez investigates art vandalism and the deaths of prostitutes, while in Canada Detective Charlie Pike needs to determine whether a body of woman is a victim of the Highway Strangler.

This is the third book in the series. It was still very good but had a slightly different feel to it. I'm not sure if it was because this book had more of a split between things happening in Cuba & Canada or something else. Still liked it a lot. I really appreciated the new police officer introduced in book 2, Charlie Pike. Looking forward to a fourth book, hopefully!
