“Murder, mayhem, mystery and magical realism abound in Las Mujeres. BJ Taylor has created a work that is infused with intoxicatingly sensuous details, propelling the reader through veiled and unveiled worlds, from chaos to resolution and dalliances in between. A most compelling read.”

–Betty R. Wall, Author of No Way Out and All That This House Has To Offer

 

“Las Mujeres will immerse readers into 1814 Mexico. Through the sharp, self-aware voice of Don Miguel Gavilan, justice becomes both a legal pursuit and a spiritual reckoning. B.J. Taylor balances courtroom intrigue with Aztec-Catholic mysticism, sensuality with satire, and historical realism with wonder. It’s a story of becoming—of a nation, a man, and a morality—served with confidence.”

–Quinn Jamison, author of The Art of Time series
