"Moonflower Murders showcases Horowitz's full battalion of strengths: the whiplash plotting, the leather-smooth prose, the bold energy... and above all, the bright spark of joy that ignites the best fiction--the joy of a storyteller finding brave new ways to dazzle his audience. Sophisticated, literate novels aren't supposed to be so much fun."--A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window

"Higuera spins a tale that crosses the depths of space, interweaving Mexican folklore with a mystical strand of science fiction."- Kirkus (starred)







Ultimately, this is less a self-help book than the personal testament of a traditional idealist with the belief that we are put on Earth for a purpose...An estimable researcher and activist tells stories and delivers uplifting advice.

--Kirkus Reviews
