Having read Chanel Cleeton’s last few releases, I can say that she is becoming an auto-buy author for me. Interesting themes include women supporting women, friendship, and revenge. If you’re looking for an escapist read, this might be fine for you as it was for me. I must note that in-depth character development is sacrificed for page-turning suspense/thriller/intrigue. I think of this as a perfect escapist read for a weekend getaway or a beach/vacation read (or staycation).

However, I can say that it’s fast-paced and unputdownable from the first page. I hesitate to say too much about the plot because the fun is in its twists and turns, the unpredictability, and the unraveling. I enjoy a highly engaging mix of genres! Plot The Cuban Heirness is a mashup of genres: historical fiction + women’s fiction + mystery + suspense + a side of romance (closed door). If you’re weary of predictable plots, you might enjoy The Cuban Heiress filled with imposters, scoundrels, and twists and turns. Imposters and scoundrels galore! If you love a story with unreliable narrators and wonder if any one of them is endearing, you might enjoy this unpredictable and page-turning tale of mystery, revenge, and intrigue. Imposters, Scoundrels, and Pageturning Action Unreliable Narrators Danger is everywhere for Catherine and Elena and they must risk everything to see justice served. She seeks revenge and fights to right the wrong done to her. As the voyage gets underway, Catherine’s life is threatened and she joins forces with a jewel thief. Inspired by the true and tragic sinking of the SS Morro Castle in 1934, The Cuban Heiress is the imagined story of two imposters, a New York heiress named Catherine and a (dead) woman known as Elena and their intertwined lives.
