Rating: Summary: Death By Peanut Butter Review: Long after I've forgotten mysteries based on ornate plots, I still remember the ones based on interesting characters -- and this one by Valerie Wilson Wesley is a pip! In addition to Tamara Haynes' hard-working private investigator, we have a wealthy and philandering street boy made good (Lincoln Storey) and a whole fascinating crew of people who stood to gain from his death under suspicious circumstances: his smooth but untrustworthy wife Daphne; her daughter Alexa from another marriage; Alexa's friend Tasha (who is arrested for murdering him); the restaurateur Tate -- an old family friend of Tamara's; aspiring politician and attorney Stella Pharr; and Brandon Pike, who is squiring Daphne and Alexa around a couple of years after having broken up with Tamara. Incidentally, the murder weapon is -- peanut butter. Someone laced Storey's bean dip; and Storey was notorious for his allergy to peanuts. So kick off your shoes, relax, and let Tamara show you what happened.
Rating: Summary: Her 1st Book Was Better! Review: This book seemed to drag on! It was like she was looking for something to add to the story! But as the story went on towards the end, that is when it picked up. This book didn't hold my attention the way "When Death Comes Stealing" did but none the less, I still read it and it is a good book!

Rating: Summary: Good mystery... Review: This is the first mystery that I've read by Valerie Wilson Wesley. I really enjoyed the story very much. The novel seem to pick up toward the end. I was at the edge of my seat trying to figure out the mysteries. I look forward to reading more from this author. Be Blessed.
