Review: A Matter of Latitude
A Matter of Latitude by Isobel Blackthorn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Matter of Latitude is a slow-paced mystery thriller, with wonderful descriptions of the idyllic setting in Lanzarote…capturing the atmosphere and culture of the island.
This covers the cost of tourism on the economy and the corruption on the political side…which means Celestino wants to expose these perpetrators, but then he is injured in an accident and disappears…leaving Paula to search, all the while the reader knows what has happened ……
I felt the story was really about the destructive nature of tourism, it’s not all suncream and sangria…but it’s effect on the local culture and the environment and while there is a thriller element there’s much more to the story….a fascinating read with a strong sense of culture….
