Rio de Janeiro. A family hotel whose clients reflect Brazilian
society, multi-racial, with starkly contrasting backgrounds, and
destitute. Rio is the perfect backdrop with its dictatorships, drug
wars, child gangs and violent policing tactics. The first victim is
found decapitated in bed, the head lying on the floor of his room.
An eerie Mona Lisa smile on the victim's face and no evidence of a
struggle indicate a murderer received as a friend. Other hotel
guests are eventually killed, all decapitated. A classical crime
novel in one way but really an opportunity for the author to
describe Brazilian society, especially those left behind.
Fascinating back stories are told such as that of the maid who
dreams of making it in television soaps, and the female pimp who
has survived incestuous rape, wrapped in a suspenseful intrigue
that could have been thought up by Ruth Rendell.
