Summary: A good fast read!
Comment: Jackie Jones is a wonderful addition to the "private eye" genre. She is a smart, sassy yet sensitive African American woman who quit the Detroit P.D. to strike out on her own. In this novel, she is requested to work on behalf of her ex-husband. As one would suspect, this case is fraught with many dangers and twists. Concurrently, she is involved in an interracial relationship with an active Detroit police officer. This aspect of the story is handled extremely well and realistically. There are two flaws with this book in my opinion: the killer's identity is readily apparent far too early in the book and the justification for their actions a bit too simplistic for my taste. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book very much and hope that we read more about Jackie Jones, Private Investigator!!

Summary: Simply Disappointed
Comment: This is the first book I have reviewed since purchasing books ...for over 4 years and I was so disappointed with this book, that I felt moved to warn others not to waste their time or money on this book. The plot in the beginning was interesting, but it quickly became boring and at the end very predictable. Yes, I knew the murderer long before I finished the book. I had the impression the author had read some of Judith Smith-LevinÂ's books and decided I can do this also. I am sorry, but one has to get up rather early to stand a chance against Miss Smith-Levin.
Rating: 5
Summary: Murder in Motown
Comment: Meet today's newest female mystery mystery vixen, Jackie Jones. Jackie is a 35 year old African American private detective living in Detroit,Michigan. Like many private investigators, Jackie is not rich and day to day living can sometimes be a struggle.
Jackie's daily life consists of trying to keep her PI agency afloat and working hard at her interracial romance with White homicide detective Sam Taylor. Life is going along as normal for her until her ex-husband, District Attorney Frank Jones, suddenly steps back into her life.
Frank suspects that his second wife Candi is cheating on him and he thinks that Jackie can get to the bottom of things for him. But as Jackie begins to work the case, she sees that she may have bitten off more than she can chew when bodies start to appear all over the place.
Deadly Secrets In The Motor City is the perfect mystery with sex and drama thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by author R.Barri Flowers. On the RAW scale this book is a 5.
