Despite a slow start and wondering whether I could find anything of interest in this story set in Spain about an author dealing with the mysterious death of his husband, I am so glad I stayed with it. Excellent story with mystery, history, beautiful landscapes, unexpected villains, and a wonderful partnership among the author, a priest, and a retired cop, as they search for the truth.
