Writer, translator and college professor, Teresa Dovalpage is a Cuban transplant firmly rooted in New Mexico. She is the author of three short story collections, four plays, and twelve novels-including the Havana Mystery series. She lives with her husband, one dog and too many barn cats.
Praise for Last Seen in Havana “With this powerful, heart-wrenching mystery that is steeped in the emotional and literal space between Miami and Cuba, Dovalpage crafts a generational story that will engage mystery lovers but also builds a character-driven family drama that explores the spaces between our living family and those we thought lost. An unforgettable ride.” —Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity “Dovalpage expertly weaves a tale of family secrets, idealism, motherhood, and patria. Last Seen in Havana was captivating to the very end—tropical gothic with the perfect blend of sun, secrets, and supernatural.” —Raquel V. Reyes, author of the Caribbean Kitchen Mystery series Praise for the Havana Mysteries “A fast-paced, richly layered tour de force . . . Bravo, Teresa Dovalpage! Encore!” —Lucha Corpi, author of the Gloria Damasco mysteries “A refreshing and elusive Cuban crime novel.” —The Toronto Star “A lesser-known Cuba, with the kind of details that make it a home rather than a holiday.” —Chicago Review of Books “Armchair travelers will appreciate the views of Havana through the eyes of Mercedes and her grandmother . . . Dovalpage remains a writer to watch.” —Publishers Weekly
