Every Bitter Thing by Leighton Gage

Although this is the fourth in a series of Mario Silva Investigator novels, it is my first. Murder after murder marks the pages till the end. The team of cops is certain the same modus operandi means one killer, but each murder has a different logical suspect. Brazil's Federal Police work with ease in and out of Brazil, following leads from the seedy streets of prostitutes to the Venezuelan Foreign Minister.

The wry, witty dialogue keeps the reader smiling as the macabre tale unfolds, and the unexpected ending makes the book well worth the read. I will definitely look for the other books in the series. -Micki K.
