Full of Fun

This is a delightful first mystery. The ditzy but good hearted heroine, Billiemae makes a mistake that drops her and her love interest Pharoah into a murder mystery. I really enjoyed this quirky, clever book. I'm now waiting for the next Alice Holman book. I want to see more Billimae!...

A Quirky Mystery

A wonderful quick read, murder that happend or did it? A Bumbling set of fiends who are trying to save each other. Detectives falling over themselves. Mix it all together and we have you laughing, crying, and wanting to punch someone in minutes. Ms Holman keeps us on our toes trying to decide what next. A light mystery sprinkle with a hint a abuse. Looking for a little fun this is the book for you.

Who killed Amelia Benson?

I never thought it was Pharaoh, but wonder if Maris had known about Rick and she did it.This was a great murder mystery book. A great book for book clubs. Can't wait to read Alice Holman next book.

A murderously smashing debut!

Alice Holman joins the select list of African-American female mystery writers with her fast-paced, page turner Last Days Murder List. Set in Denver, the story features an assortment of highly developed and recognizable characters linked to a complex mystery of murder, suspense and wonderfully developed twists and turns. The key protagonists, Billiemae and Pharoah are a wonderful combination of guts and guile, fun and frantic and an inner drive to be together, inspite of the obstacles. The tone and quality of the story are far superior to most debut authors and it is my sincere hope that we haven't seen the last of Billiemae and Pharoah. This is a must read for mystery enthusiasts and clearly explains why Alice Holman was the clear choice to win the 2001 Chester Himes award. Congratulations colleague. Please keep the stories coming!

A Must READ!

When I picked it up I didn't put it down until I was done! The author had me laughing out loud at the antics of Billiemae, the amature sleuth in the mystery. The suspense was maintained up until the very end. On the pages in between I felt sorry for Maris, a supporting character who should be living a comfortable life, but is instead, married to a terrible man with hidden objectives. Pharoah, the love interest is strong, confident and steady... but who's love interest is he?... you don't find out until the end, but he helps Billiemae solve the murder she thinks she committed while drinking with a friend.I can't wait for the sequel...
