The setting of this book is the fifties in Cuba before the revolution,
it is murder mystery, and the characters described may very well be
alive. They, and the romantic love, family ties, sex, crime, and customs
depicted, some a product of the writer's imagination, could all be true.
The young woman in the story is terrified because she believes an
unknown uncle, a suspected criminal, may have come into her life and is
threatening her safety. She is married to the only son of very rich
parents, a spoiled fellow, and her days have now changed to be full of
unhappiness and fear of losing her children.
She cannot imagine that the murders she reads about in the newspapers
could be related to her, but she keeps getting notions perhaps "that
uncle" could be the killer.
And the suspected uncle seems to be a charming gentleman.
The author is now retired, living in Miami, and writing in Spanish. In
his own words: All my books are crime fiction, no matter what the
neighborhood is, or who the characters are, someone always gets killed.
I don't want the reader to know who the killer is, and sometimes I set
up blocks in my way, deceiving myself, refusing to name a suspect until
the last chapter. This is entertainment for the writer. Killer Kin was
my first book of the Havana Recalled series, but I published number two,
The Secret Comparsa, first. I am now involved in a soap opera
experience, which does have some romance in it, besides the usual crime
and suspects.
