A Mysterious Review of …

Another Sun by Timothy Williams.

Review summary: Set in 1980 on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, this is a complicated crime novel. Not so much from a murder mystery perspective, which is really quite straight forward even though it may not seem that way, but from the politics of the situation, given where and when the action takes place.

Soho Crime (April 2013)

Publisher synopsis: The sun-drenched Caribbean island of Guadeloupe is technically part of France, subject to French law and loyal to the French Republic. But in 1980, the scars of colonialism are still fresh, and ethnic tensions and political unrest seethe just below the surface of everyday life.

French-Algerian judge Anne Marie Laveaud relocated to this beautiful Caribbean island confident that she could make it her new home. But her day-to-day life is rife with frustration. Now she is assigned a murder case in which she is sure the chief suspect, an elderly ex-con named Hégésippe Bray, is a political scapegoat. Her superiors are dismissive of her efforts to prove Bray innocent, and to add insult to injury, Bray himself won't even speak to her because she's a woman. But she won't give up, and Anne Marie's investigations lead her into a complex tangle of injustice, domestic terrorists, broken hearts, and maybe even voodoo.
