Land of Careful Shadows

By: Suzanne Chazin

Narrated by: Armando Durán

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.

entertaining story

I enjoyed it. It was credible and had a good story line. I recommend it.

Land of Careful Shadows

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

Narrator was great, story not so much

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.

Spellbinding

Insite of how immigrants are treated. Hope we are doing better now. good listen. H open

Couldn't put it down

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