Summary: Tamara Hayle is an Ace
Review: Tamara Hayle is a single mother and private investigator. She left the police force to pursue this career challenge.In this novel, Tamara investigates the mysterious deaths of a group of young men. These young men are being murdered, one by one with no apparent justification. The one commonality is that these young men have the same father, who also happens to be the father of Tamara's son. She wants to find out what is going on before Tragedy hits home. This investigation gives you a look at Tamara the PI, Tamara the mother, and Tamara the woman. It shows her relationships with the men in her life: her brother Johnny, her son, his father (DeWayne), her former co-workers, and they mysterious Basil Dupree. Tamara Hayle is an ace P.I. I never wanted to read mysteries, so this was bought on a whim. Valerie Wilson Wesley has done a great job with this character. I've gotten every Tamara Hayle Mystery since I read this one, although this one is still my favorite.

Summary: Tamara Hayle is the Woman!
Review: Thanks to Wesley, mystery has become my favorite fictional genre. Her sassy sleuth, Tamara Hayle embraces those true qualities of the quintessential African American woman; strong and sassy on the outside while all the while able to conceal her internal self-doubts and fears. In the end, it's all done for the betterment of her family, friends, her community at large. When Tamara takes on the case to find the murderer of her ex-husband's son, she knew that against her better judgement, it was something she had to do. After all, she too shares a son with this man even though he hasn't been much of a father to him. The only thing that I really didn't feel too comfortable with was how Tamara handled the fate of her son. I thought she should have shown more concern in the beginning about his welfare. As the book progresses, however, the motherly instincts kick in better. Tamara also shows us how hard it is for a Sista not to get clouded by her feminine desires when it's the right thing to do. All in all, this is an engaging book with a strong ending. There are many characters flowing through this mystery. This creates motives and means for many so it concludes in a very unpredictable fashion which is exactly what you want in a good mystery. Thanks Valerie for the Tamara Hayle series. This is the second one I read and I will definitely be reading them all!

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book was a great mystery. I'm not usually a fan of mysteries, but this book kept me interested and I was eager for more. I'm reading "Devil's Gonna Get Him" now. It started off kind of slow, but I'm getting into it now.

Summary: A very compelling and believable mystery
Review: This book was a very believable and vivid mystery. I could actually identify with Tamara Hayle, an independent and struggling woman trying to assert herself and become successful. The setting in this book, Newark, New JErsey, is a place I have been to. I could invision the area at the time of this fictional mystery. Her Characters were so striking to people I may have seen or heard about. I could actually visiualize the era as I read the book. Valerie made Tamara a very down to earth character. There was a bit of romance as well as suspence in this book. The connection between Tamara's son and her exhusband's older son's and the person who was killing his son, was really the suspenceful part that had me hanging on page by page to come to the actual murderer. I strongly suggest this book, if anyone want a good read on a nice relaxing day or anytime one has a free moment

Summary: Excellent!...well-written...it made sense
Review: This book, I'm telling you can't put it down until your finsish. When I first read this book, I have read all her other books and I'm waiting for the new one "Easier to Kill". Valerie is one of my favorite Afro-American authors. Other books/authors I recommend is Omar Tyree and Yolandoe Joe.
