Engaging
I'm not completely done this book.Bought it because I heard Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance speak on Oprah.The writing isn't very good, but I am enjoying very much hearing about their individual lives leading up to the point where they become interested in each other.I have started many books in 2007, but this is one I haven't been able to put down and will definitely finish!

A Real Love Story
I could barely put this book down! I enjoyed reading the candid story about Courtney and Angela. I appreciate all the sound advice given throughout the book concerning relationships. If you can get past some of the expletives used by Angela, you will find this book enjoyable. I wanted to put my "stamp of approval" on such a well written, down to earth story about a man and women who meet and fall in love. God truly has joined these two together and may the love they share sustain this marriage.

Excellent Book!
Bravo Courtney for evolving into the man that you are.It took great strength and courage to defy the many evils of today.I hope many males read this book and imitate you and your union with Angela.Congratulations on a job well done.

Awesome love story
This book was well written think it was wonderful for Courtney/Angela to share their lives with readers.Points of interest: the lessons Angela/Courtney gives about being a God fearing wife and husband. This will help anyone who takes the time to read/apply it to your life. Please write another book soon.

WONDERFUL!
This book was such a joy to read.As a young single lady in my 40's, it was a joy to learn of the forces that lead Angela and Courtney to each other.If you believe there is someone waiting for you, then this is the book to read.I am so glad they made the decision to share their story with us.Thanks for sharing! ...

The Best Book By Far
This book by Valerie W Wesley '' When Death Comes Stealing'' is the best book I ever read and I have read all lot of books. This is the best by far. Tamara Hayle is a strong intelligent women with a mission: to raise her kid right in these mean streets, but her ex - husband brings danger to her door when he wants her to investigate in his son's death. Her son in - law. Police say he died because of an overdose on coccain, but he thinks someone killed him and made it seem like he died of an overdose. In Tamara's investigation she discover some grimy news that could end her life and her son's. This book holds action, suspense, and excitement. If you want a great mystery book you should definitly read this book.

Touching
A great way to start a mystery series.You feel sorry for Dewayne, because he starts losing all of his children.Tamara Hayle gets into this because her son Jamal is in danger.This was capturing all the way to the end.

Tamara Hayle is the Woman!
Thanks to Wesley, mystery has become my favorite fictional genre. Her sassy sleuth, Tamara Hayle embraces those true qualities of the quintessential African American woman; strong and sassy on the outside while all the while able to conceal her internal self-doubts and fears.In the end, it's all done for the betterment of her family, friends, her community at large.

When Tamara takes on the case to find the murderer of her ex-husband's son, she knew that against her better judgement, it was something she had to do.After all, she too shares a son with this man even though he hasn't been much of a father to him.The only thing that I really didn't feel too comfortable with was how Tamara handled the fate of her son. I thought she should have shown more concern in the beginning about his welfare. As the book progresses, however, the motherly instincts kick in better.Tamara also shows us how hard it is for a Sista not to get clouded by her feminine desires when it's the right thing to do.

All in all, this is an engaging book with a strong ending.There are many characters flowing through this mystery.This createsmotives and means for many so it concludes in a very unpredictable fashion which is exactly what you want in a good mystery.

Thanks Valerie for the Tamara Hayle series.This is the second one I read and I will definitely be reading them all!

Tamara Hayle is an Ace
Tamara Hayle is a single mother and private investigator.She left the police force to pursue this career challenge.

In this novel, Tamara investigates the mysterious deaths of a group of young men.These young men are being murdered, one by one with no apparent justification.The one commonality is that these young men have the same father, who also happens to be the father of Tamara's son.She wants to find out what is going on before Tragedy hits home.

This investigation gives you a look at Tamara the PI, Tamara the mother, and Tamara the woman.It shows her relationships with the men in her life: her brother Johnny, her son, his father (DeWayne), her former co-workers, and they mysterious Basil Dupree. Tamara Hayle is an ace P.I.I never wanted to read mysteries, so this was bought on a whim.Valerie Wilson Wesley has done a great job with this character.I've gotten every Tamara Hayle Mystery since I read this one, although this one is still my favorite.

Absolutely fabulous
great book, could not put it down.in the past i have not been a fan of mysteries, however, since reading this book that has changed. ... Read more
