Format:Paperback
I REALLY ENJOYED THE CHARACTERS THAT MS.GRIMES CREATED. THEY WERE VERY LIKABLE PEOPLE. AND A LOT OF HER MOTHERS OLD SAYINGS REMINDED ME OF THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE. VERY TALENTED MYSTERY WRITER. JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD THE MYSTERY FIGURED OUT SHE BAFFLED ME AGAIN.
Format:Paperback
Mrs. Grimes has made these characters so real that the only aspect missing is seeing them in the flesh. Theresa's mother kept tears (of laughter) in my eyes. This book is so action packed, the dialogue so real-life that this reader felt at one with the characters, scenes, and action. The book reads quickly and dares you to put it down! ...and that last sentence (Please don't peek!) will hook you as a Theresa Galloway fan!
Format:Paperback
I loved the plot of the doctor and his wife who would have thought that rich old lady could do those killings all to protect a man who has been dead for years.I really liked the realtionship between Teresa and her mom. I think a lot of black women have that type of bond with their moms.
