Summary: Easier to Read¿.
Comment: I was a little disappointed in the outcome of this book. Yet, I'm aware that mysteries are always with a suspect way from the lift, this one was way out there. The killer was even boring and didn't live up to the suspense of the book. I have read all of Ms. Wesley's Tamara Hayle's mysteries and this one was strictly for fans only. If you didn't read the others first you would not have an idea of other characters. I was also disappointed in Basil Dupre's absence from the novel. Yet I understand Tamara Hayle's love affair with Jake, which isn't going anywhere and should, however Basil gives her love life a spice to Tamara character until Jake sorts out his love for her. My advice to Ms. Wesley is to hurry up and revamp Tamara mysteries with more interest in her love life and also more exciting killers.

Summary: Angels with Devilish sides
Comment: This is the first book I've read by Valerie Wilson Wesley; I'd gotten it from my mom, and I wasn't that intrigued by the cover. Finally I'd come across it again and decided to at least read the first chapter, which lead to the second, the third, and then I was finished. It was a fast, mysterious read, and I mostly liked it! All of the mystery, the suspects, the mother in her, as well as the secret love she held in her heart, however I didn't love the ending! I was shocked by who the killer turned out to be, but I'd thought of different angles--OH WELL... I will be giving Tamara Hayle another try, to see if maybe this was clumsy as one of the previous reviewers said.

Summary: Not the best side of Tamara Hayle
Comment: Easier to Kill is not the best showcasing of Valerie Wilson Wesley's tough-yet-tender character, PI Tamara Hayle. This latest volume in the life of this Jersey girl lacks the punch of previous works featuring this character.
The hiring of Tamara to trace some crank notes that are delivered to a prominent radio show host is a change from the upfront murders that Tamara is normally called in to look into. The description of the subsequent investigative process is flat, as are some of the characters that are eventually identified and interviewed by Tamara. Actually, some of the characters are just plain weird (i.e. Tasha's father and the parking garage guy).
The saving grace is due to both the book's funky ending (I loved that twist!), and the fallibility of Jake, Tamara's off-limits fantasy. I would have liked to have seen more of Jake's struggles to deal with his personal shortcomings, and not through the jealous eyes of Tamara. Overall, I would have been better off checking it out from the library.
