The Land of Trees

I liked this cover. It is very appealing designed. The writing style is very pleasant and fluently to read. The characters are very well described and look  well thought out and consistently interesting. The tension is always present and causes the tension does not leave. The descriptions of surroundings, feelings and scenes were also very satisfactory.

Lia and Richard have travelled to Guatemala on an adventure and to meet Lia’s friend, Rafael.

He’s late meeting them in a bar, but they get to meet Macy a fellow U.K. resident from Amersham. Rafael arrives, he’s seen handing a case to the barman, but this is soon forgotten.

However, Rafael is then attacked and dies, leaving Lia devastated. The friends decide to find out why he died.

What follows is a crime mystery story, with details of the history, politics and people of Guatemala, with stunning descriptive writing that really brings the beauty of the country to life. A tale of tragedy and ultimately hope.

Thank you to the publishers, the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a free copy of the ebook. This is my honest and unbiased review.

This is a well-told story with lots of drama. It's a mystery with interesting characters and decent dialog and a plot made more interesting by the foreign setting. Good for mystery fans.

I really appreciate the copy for review!!

I was a huge fan of the Guatemalan culture! Books that take me to places I've never been really keep me invested.  Her writing was descriptive and enticing. The murder mystery involved keeps you guessing until the end! Definitely a must read!
