Land of Careful Shadows by award-winning author Suzanne Chazin is a powerful mystery full of passion and secrets that deals with a clash of cultures and familial relationships, and it's full of drama, mystery, and raw emotions.

When the dead body of a Latino woman is found in a reservoir about 50 miles north of Manhattan, with a photo of a baby in her purse nearby, the police try to determine who the child is and if it is still alive. Along with the photo, they also find a disturbing note in the purse: "Go back to your country. You don't belong here."

Homicide detective Jimmy Vega is Latino too, so he knows how hard it can be for an outsider to fit into a close-knit town like Lake Holly. Vega is a highly respected officer of the law, and he is challenged and intrigued by Adele Figueroa, a passionate defender of immigrants' rights. Vega must rethink everything he believes in order to uncover the truths about his town, his family, and himself.

Land of Careful Shadows is a tour de force of literary suspense and an intimate journey into the human heart.

What a magnificent story. It provided me with some insight into an immigrants trials and tribulations in this North America. Decisions are always difficult, making the correct ones may not bring success, but to take heart in the present gives us hope. I love the story

I expected a murder story, but that's only a small part of the book. I didn't care for the storyline. I listened to half the book because of the narrator.

Narrator was great, story not so much

Loved it. Kept you wondering who the guilty party was. A father's love for his daughter and police love for his job.

Sort of ho hum.
I had to re-read each chapter to remind me of what
The plot was not strong enough to hold my interest.

This book just plods along. Finally just quit. I think most people want the author to paint a picture but the atmospherics makes this novel seen unending.

Just could not finish this.

The book tries to hard to fit in too many stories. There are multiple subplots that could have just been left out entirely. This has nothing to do with length. In fact, I prefer long stories. It's just that it turned into a bit of a soap opera.
The narration is good and the setting is quite intriguing. It is an easy listen.

Too many storylines

Not only is this a good detective story, it also gets into the disparity minorities face in the US.

Bravo

Wow! What a great book! There is certainly a compelling and suspenseful mystery driving the plot here, and--barring one or two mildly implausible coincidences-- plot twists both shocking and utterly fitting, revelations clicking into place as the crime(s) is/are solved. But beyond all that is a compelling literary novel with a raft of full-fledged characters in all their complexities of admirable and reprehensible traits negotiating the moral dilemmas inherent in the immigration problem. Mystery novels don't often bring me to tears: this one did three or four times. This is a deeply humane rendering of what seems an intractable problem of our time, showing, as it does, both what law enforcement and undocumented immigrants are up against.

Pay no attention to the mean-spirited negative reviews falsely accusing the author of stereotyping both the immigrants and the police (and note that the reviews making that claim were written before their authors even bothered reading past the beginning of the book). The performance is top notch, too. Armando Durán's voice and delivery remind me of the venerable George Guidall, elder statesmen of audio book readers and familiar to all of us who love audiobooks.

Much More Than a Mystery
