4 out of 5
This book
was recommended to me by the author herself when she read how much I enjoyed The Book of Unknown Americans by
Cristina Henriquez. Although both are unique in their plots, they both deal
with undocumented, or illegal, immigrants.
Careful Shadows is about a Latino
homicide detective’s murder case that may or may not involve illegal
immigrants. The story captured my attention immediately, but I did find it
pretty predictable and the love connection between, Jimmy Vega and Adele Figueroa,
an immigrants’ rights activist, felt forced. It is as though it was an
afterthought, just to add romance to the story. While I enjoyed Unknown Americans more, I definitely was
sucked into this storyline and look forward to reading the next in series.
