Andrew C says:
A coming-of-age noir tale with a deceptively tranquil surface. Moreno-Garcia conveys mood and motive just as convincingly as she weaves genres.
Facing limited prospects in 1979 Baja California, a young woman from a poor fishing village becomes entwined in the lives of three wealthy American tourists before the death of one is complicated by revelations about their true identities.
