It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.Dancing with the Tiger

About the Book:
When 30-year-old Anna Ramsey learns that a meth-addicted looter has dug up what might be the funerary mask of Montezuma, she books the next flight to Oaxaca. Determined to redeem her father, a discredited art collector, and to one-up her unfaithful fiancé, a museum curator, Anna hurls herself headlong into Mexico’s underground art world. But others are chasing the treasure as well: the shape-shifting drug lord no one can really describe; the enigmatic American expat, who keeps his art collection locked in a chapel; the former museum director who traffics stolen works, and his housekeeper—deeply religious, a gay woman in a culture of machismo, dependent on a patron she loathes; the painter Salvador on his motorcycle, complex, sensual—but with secrets of his own.
Anna soon realizes that everyone is masked—some literally, others metaphorically. Indeed, Dancing with the Tiger is a splendid reminder that throughout human history, cultures have revered masks: whether in the theater or in war, for religious purposes, or to conceal identity, masks are as universal as our desire to transform ourselves, to change. Anna, without an ounce of self-pity despite traumatic losses, stands out as a heroine for our times as, traveling alone, she finds the courage to show her true face.

Received in an awesome Authors from Unusual Countries sweepstake parcel. Thank you!
This is one of those books where most of the characters are unpleasant people but you still want to read on and find out what happens. I really enjoyed the different narratives and the insight you got into each person's life and thinking. Thanks for sharing this J4Shaw. I plan to keep this for the debut novels bookbox.
And off it goes to my Easter Exchange partner. Happy reading!
Received in RABCK Easter Exchange 2023 - looking forward to reading.
I must admit I struggled with it at times - the characters don't curry sympathy! However, pleased that I stuck with it.
