review 1: I really liked Ms. Walkers writing style. Her descriptions of that time period were very vivid, from describing Strivers row, the telephones they used, and the Faggots Ball. I could easily picture it all, especially the scene with Juniors parents. The storyline constantly held my attention, and the twist was AWSOME. I look forward to reading more of her work. Anyone interested in a good mystery, this is your book.
review 2: This is a murder mystery with a twist...a rather fascinating one at that. It's set in 1920's Harlem and reveals some remarkable history on famous blacks during that time. I can usually guess the ending but this one had me on the edge of my set waiting for the next thing to happen. There are several bloody scenes described and underton... morees of homosexual activity. A few slow areas peppered the book but not enough to deter me from recommending this one. less
