Sara
Almquist couldn’t say no when invited to be the epidemiologist on a public
health mission to Bolivia. Soon she finds dangers lurk around every corner of
the Witches’ Market and churches of La Paz as someone from her past pursues
her. Unfortunately, she can’t decide which of her colleagues to trust as she
learns more than she ever wanted to know about coca production, the god Tio of
the silver mines of Potosí, and Bolivian politicians.
Review
Blurbs: Hooray,
Greger has brought Sara Almquist back in Ignore the Pain and thrust her into
one danger after another in La Paz, Bolivia. Bold writing, wonderful
descriptions of people and places, and heart-pounding adventure. --F. M.
Meredith, author of Dangerous Impulses JL Greger creates the most intriguing
characters and infuses them with purpose and quick minds. A must read! --Walter

Bio: J.L. Greger is no longer a biology
professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; instead she’s putting tidbits
of science into her novels. She and Bug, her Japanese Chin dog, live in the
southwest. Bug is the only non-fictional character in her novels. She is the
author of Coming Flu, Murder: A New Way to Lose Weight and Ignore the Pain.
Sounds like an exciting mystery, and the cover is remarkably dramatic. Thanks for the recommendation, Pat.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
DeleteOne of the many things I enjoy about my blog is featuring books in the mystery/suspense genre. Not necessarily a recommendation because we all have different tastes but more the opportunity to expose my readers to new (to them) authors and their books. Thanks for stopping by!
Exotic locale and spot-on topic. Sounds like a nail-biter. Thank you, Patricia, Janet and Bug.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Here's John Lindermuth's comments on the book (from his Amazon review) "Fans of suspense, unique locations, science and even romance will find something to like in this novel."
ReplyDeleteI will admit it's not a cozy mystery. It's a thriller with a middle aged heroine.

ooohh! This looks intriguing. I've already shared it to my social media sites :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat author and this looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.

Since I don't get to travel much, I really appreciate novels with an interesting, unusual or exotic setting. This mystery appeals strongly to me. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I love the stories in fiction but like to learn something. That's why I insert tidbits about the culture, public health problems, and politics of Bolivia in Ignore the Pain. You'll see Bolivia from the perspective of consultant not the average tourist.
