Death Under the Perseids
Death Under the Perseids | Teresa Dovalpage
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
There's no such thing as a free cruise. Teresa Dovalpage's Havanna Mystery follows Mercedes Spivey from cruise ship to the streets of Cuba. Can she figure out who is stalking her--and why--before it's too late? Cuban-born Mercedes Spivey and her American husband, Nolan, win a promotion for a five-day cruise to Cuba. Mercedes is surprised to find among her fellow passengers former University of Havana professor Selfa Sagarra and down-on-his-luck Spanish writer Javier Jurado. The four acquaintances have something in common--they all wronged Mercedes' ex-boyfriend, Lorenzo, who committed suicide in Havana. Selfa's false accusations cost Lorenzo his job, Mercedes left him for Nolan, and Mercedes is the only one who knows that Javier's only bestselling novel was actually Lorenzo's. When Selfa disappears on the first day aboard, and Nolan and Javier vanish after the cruise disembarks in Havana, Mercedes wanders through the city, fearing that Lorenzo's best friend, a wealthy, enigmatic Danish man nicknamed "The Viking," is stalking the group to avenge him. Will she be next?

Dovalpage has crafted a slow mystery that builds to a reveal in the form of a letter to the protagonist, Mercedes. Although she doesn‘t trust herself, we know what‘s happening through heavy foreshadowing. I was also bothered by the notion that her life choices lessened her victimization. I get that Mercedes may believe that, but the author seems to believe it too, which is frankly disturbing. I should have bailed. Kept looking for redemption.
