Julia Alvarez immediately comes to mind. I loved In the Time of the Butterflies. It's not a mystery but there is suspense as the sisters push back against an oppressive government in the Dominican Republic.

I found this anthology on Amazon. I looked at the list of contributing authors, but none of their names are familiar.

Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery

Hello,

One of the students at Capital Community College is looking for fiction books that feature Hispanic women. She is not looking for books that are classified as urban fiction. She is looking specifically for Hispanic women characters who would be considered the heroine of the book. She is looking for books that are classified as mystery and suspense. Books similar to the characters in Patricia Cornwell, Perri O’Shaughnessy, and Tess Gerritsen’s books. Do you know of any specific authors? Do you have books like this in your library? Thank you.

Karen
