Issy Castillo Crime Fiction Series

Scent of Murder: First in the Crime Fiction Series

The main object of this series is to write an entertaining mystery starring a Latina sleuth that almost everybody can enjoy. But as you might suppose, given the crazy characters and plots I create, I have a secret agenda or two as well.

Besides the mysteries, a major theme of this book is to show how Latina in an Anglo world can achieve anything, including career success and her heart’s desire without compromising her “Latinidad.” Keys to success are family, friendship, respect for heritage and ancestral wisdom, which she should never forget. And it doesn’t hurt to have a wry sense of humor.
