About the author
Ana Manwaring
17 books19 followersAna Manwaring writes raw, unflinching crime thrillers that dwell at the crossroads of corruption, survival and vengeance. With a bold, gritty voice and a sharp eye for institutional injustice, her latest novel Mortal Revenge, co-authored with Fernando León Torrens, plunges readers into the sun drenched streets of Veracruz, where power and family secrets collide under the weight of violence and betrayal. Mortal Revenge isn’t just a thriller — based on a true story, it’s a fight for truth, told with unrelenting honesty.
Drawing on a deep-rooted fascination with Mexico, political and social intrigue and the human psyche under pressure, Ana builds morally complex anti-heroes whose fights for justice blur into quests for survival. Her work brings Latin American infused crime fiction to the forefront — combining intense action, layered character drama, and social realism. Her novels include the JadeAnne Stone Mexico Adventures and the the Dafne Olabarrieta Mexico Mysteries. She has also written a memoir of her years living in Mexico, Saints and Skeletons.
When she’s not weaving dark plots or crafting shocking twists, Ana connects with her readers on social media, sharing behind the-scenes insights, cultural inspirations, and the emotional heart of her stories.
Ana also teaches creative writing, produces North Bay Poetics, and is the Vice President of of Sisters in Crime Northern California. https://anamanwaring.com https://linktr.ee/anamanwaring

The Redemption by Ana Manwaring is an interesting modern attempt at writing a Yuletide myth or legend. Like all good legends, it has an interesting premise. Four young girls have found solace after the death of their parents with Uncle Nick and there is, indeed, an interesting end to their Yuletide festivities.
I have a guess that Manwaring wanted this story to be a bit "out of time" as it were, but a few extra details just to tease would have made the story all the better.
