North of Montana by April Smith
5.0
I don't often read mysteries, because most of them are so by-the-numbers and dull -- you can hear the cash registers ringing in the author's head as they are writing. But this book, which I grabbed because -- foolish man! -- I thought it was set in Canada, held me riveted to the end. There is a story driving the plot, but far more important, there's an all-too-human half Latina protagonist, racism, a tolerable level of violence, baseball and sweat. By the time the book finally gets around to sex, it really feels earned and erotic.
Can't ask for much more than that.
