Blood Will Tell

Rating:
Summary: Believable and Fun
Review: I loved both of Ms. Grimes books and I'm amazed that she hasn't written any others? Where are you? I live in Sacramento and work for the State and my oh my I know the people she works with!

Summary: Believable and Fun
Review: I wish Terris would include the phone numbers to her characters. I feel as if I could call them up and give them some help. The story line is as realistic as the characters. I wonder what Momma is up to in the next book?

Rating:
Summary: Enjoyable, exciting, relaxing reading.
Review: Ms. Grimes is a wonderful writer and paints vivid pictures with her words. The dialog is so realistic. I've actually had some of the same conversations with my family and/or friends. I enjoyed Sombody Else's Child and Blood Will Tell. I can't wait for the next Theresa Galloway mystery. Alison Gibson

Summary: Add a mystery, marriage, and a mother, and you got a winner!
Review: The author's first mystery, SOMEBODY ELSE'S CHILD, was a excellent introduction to Theresa Galloway, her husband Templeton, children Aisha and Shawn, and her demanding, familiar mother. BLOOD WILL TELL continues the Galloway series by keeping all of the performers in perfect characterization and by throwing in a mysterious love child in the mix, which leads to theft, spying, and murder. The book was fast-paced and smart, without a lot of ultra-heroics thrown in. With what Theresa had to endure with her pressure-cooker job, her husband's failing business, and her over-opinioned mother calling the shots behind her back, she didn't need it. This was a fun book that won't take long to read, and, hopefully, will expand into several more mysteries involving this group of delightful characters.

Summary: More, Please
Review: The protagonist has the realest life I've ever read in an amateur detective series. Please bring back this believable and admirable state bureaucrat in a third book.
