Restaurant Oaxaca

By Charles Kerns

A second-class bus ride back from the mountains of southern Mexico to Oaxaca City ends for expat "Roberto" Evans when a gang robs the passengers and shoots an off duty state cop. Evans finds himself entangled in crime once again helping his taxista friend search for the killer in Oaxaca and in Mexico City. "The colors, smells, music, and especially the food of Oaxaca and its surrounding villages jump off the pages in this tale. The pace remains leisurely. Roberto walks slowly; he takes the time to study the streets, the architecture, the people; he needs his afternoon naps; and he never misses an opportunity to eat...An entertaining mystery propelled by a hero to be savored, a smart, gentle cynic who comfortably interacts with both expats and locals." --Kirkus Reviews Evans manages to eat well, drink a bit, and explore his favorite city as two reformed thugs, daughter Randy, and new friend Pedro Perro help to chase after the good life with some crime fighting on the side.
