TusQuets, 2001

Must read
Uno de los generos mas dificiles son las novelas policiacas. Padura trabaja muy bien el personaje principal Mario Conde y a la misma vez retrata como es la vida en la habana. Esta novela es parte de la tetralogia cuatro estaciones, Padura desarrolla los personajes Mario Code y su mejor amigo que quedo invalido durante la guerra de Angola a traves de esta 4 novelas culminando en un final ...

Mascaras

Leonardo Padura Fuentes

TusQuets, 1997

Delivers less than it promises.
This novel takes many of the elements of "roman noir" and sets them in Havana. Superficially, the work is a murder mystery that focuses on a jaded cop's transformation as he interacts with a mysterious individual whom he meets while investigating the murder of a transvestite. Along the way, the novel raises interesting points about the various faces/masks that individuals wear depending upon ...

Una excelente novela con aspectos de misterio
Es la primera novela que leo de Padura, pero buscaré las otras. Su descripción y amor de la Havana y de sus personajes es profunda. El aspecto de misterio en la novela es muy bueno. UN AUTOR QUE MERECE LEERSE.

Bitter Lemon Press, 2006

excellent Cuban police procedural
Havana Police Lieutenant Mario Conde just wants to do the right thing on the job though the Party makes that difficult. However, he is irate and bitter over the forced replacement of his professional supervisor by a party hack; he deems the job is not worth the political correctness that previously was overwhelming, but now is impossible to navigate without connections. This Conde decides to ...

Havana Red

Leonardo Padura

Bitter Lemon Press, 2007

A warning
'Havana Red' is NOT "The first of the Havana quartet featuring Inspector Mario Conde... ", nor is it "... a fantastic first tale." A fantastic tale, no problem, but not the first. It is the first one translated into English, but it's actually the third volume of the quartet (Spanish title 'Mascaras'), and the forthcoming 'Havana Black' (*'Paisaje de otono') was the final volume, not the second. ...

Havana Blue (Mario Conde Mystery 3)

Leonardo Padura

Bitter Lemon Press, 2007

A GREAT, GREAT WRITER ...
I picked up Havana Blue in a small bookshop in NY a few weeks ago and was so impressed with the writing, I ordered the rest of the series plus Adios Hemingway from amazon (to get them as fast as possible). Padura is an incredibly gifted writer. The sensuality of his prose is visceral. I literally brewed coffee when reading about Lt. Mario Conde's attempts to get a good cup from his boss. I ...

TusQuets, 2000

Today's Cuba as seen by a jaundiced, but impishly winking eye
Brilliant! A police procedural with angst, humor and mouth-watering cigar descriptions. A poignant view of contemporary Cuba from the inside, without the bitter poison of Miami and Castro politics

Havana Blue (Mario Conde Mystery 3)

Havana Fever
Leonardo Padura

Bitter Lemon Press, 2009

Praise for the Havana Quartet: ?Talk about unexpected discoveries, Havana Black is a revelation. A lush, frank, captivating murder mystery.?? The Atlantic Monthly ?Drenched with that beguiling otherness so appealing to fans of mysteries of other cultures, Havana Blue will also appeal to those who appreciate the sultry lyricism of James Lee Burke.?? Booklist ?A magnificent Dickensian evocation of the city?s street hassle; it takes ...
