Helpful Score: 2

Perez-Reverte is a master novelist, but this is not among my favorites. I found the shifting points of view too jerky and hindered my comprehension of the complex story of the poor girl rising to become "The Queen of the South." The tale takes us to all the exotic locales one comes to love in a Perez-Reverte novel, and introduces us to his usual cast of equally colorful and unique characters. Like a good thriller on the screen, Perez-Reverte's gets tremendous mileage out of his secondary and supporting characters. Some will love this tale of the men and women in the world of narco-trafficantes, but "The Queen" was just not my cup of tea.
