Summary: Kendra Clayton mystery is a hit!
Review: How do I describe a good book? One I can't put down. And "The Pleasure of His Company" was one book I could not stop reading! The characters are beyond believable--they're people you know from your own home town. The story was extremely well written and intriguing, and Angela's vivid descriptive detail left me with plenty of time to concentrate on the plot. I'm normally not a mystery fan, but this book makes me want to reconsider. Highly recommended.

Summary: A pleasure of a book
Review: I am not ordinarily a mystery fan, but this one was quite good. The main and supporting characters are believable, the plot doesn't go in weird directions, and I was kept guessing as to the true perpetrator. A good read!

Summary: A Reading Pleasure!
Review: I swear the people in this book are members of my family. The author has created a group of people that are down to earth, which is relative, and so very familiar that through the high jinks and meddling, I kept visualizing folks I know. Not to mention that the physical descriptions are so dead on, you have no need to imagine. What you experience is a sense that "my sister in-law" is just like that. Beyond the amazing familiarity the book creates, it is a great page turner. The plot keeps you engaged throughout and provides ample gist for the mill of the detective in all us mystery readers. Which reminds me, do not be fooled by the cover art of this novel. You could mistake cover and title for a romance novel. While this fine mystery may have elements of romance, it is a died in wool, take to the beach, read on the airplane, keep on the bed stand whodunit, with many levels and significant depth and was much enjoyed to my reading pleasure. This is a first effort by a very talented writer. Give this a read and you will be rewarded with a fun and engaging novel. Enjoy the warmth and vibe of this book. Hey, and be warned. You will smile when she starts to story telling and you start to recognizing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: That¿s what Friends are for
Review: THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY is the debut novel from Angela Henry. It is a captivating mystery that tells the story of Kendra Clayton's search for the truth concerning the murder of her best friend's boyfriend. In this quest for the truth reveals that the deceased was a ladies' man. Kendra is implicated in the police investigation, so she is determined to uncover the killer herself. Be prepared for the Twist Ending!

Henry has done a good job introducing Kendra Clayton to the literary scene. The book is well developed and keeps the reader perplexed until the ending. I look forward to the next installment of a Kendra Clayton mystery.
