Summary: Nicely Paced Mystery
Comment: Norrell prison Warden Louis Perkins and his wife were murdered in their home but, unforunately, this was just the beginning of the killing spree by the killers who only seem to have revenge on their minds. Agent Phoenix Perry and her partner Agent Kelly McPherson are assigned the case and it's their job to stop these killers before the death count gets way out of hand. But, in the process, there are some friends of Phoenix that end up murdered and this case becomes a very personal one for her.
Sugar & Spice by Keith Lee Johnson is a murder mystery filled with excitement, suspense, and more than enough surprises to keep readers interested throughout the novel. When you think you understand what's going on, a few pages later, you might realize that your guesses and assumptions were incorrect. Keith writes the book in short, concise chapters and the pacing of the story never feels bogged down, even though there are a lot of characters in this story.
Agent Phoenix Perry was a very fun character and this reader looks forward to more mysteries with her as the lead character. And, with Pretenses due out in June, the wait won't be long.

Summary: Sugar and Spice Ain't So Nice
Comment: Keith Lee Johnson spins a suspenseful mystery titled Sugar and Spice. When you read this novel, you will realize that the characters in this book are not so nice. You will be on the edge of your seat as you travel from Malibu, California to Alexandria, Virginia following the vicious crime spree committed by the recently released twins.
In July 2001, the twins are set free from prison, While in prison, they plotted and planned revenge on those who mistreated them on the inside and outside. First, they had to take care of the prison warden, then Heather Connelly, a high school sweetheart. More vicious killings soon followed. FBI agent Phoenix Perry was vacationing in California when she read about the murder of the prison warden. Her curiosity piqued, she could hardly finish her vacation before her detective mind began churning with ways to solve this case. Very few clues, a hard-nosed boss, and an over sexed partner, are just a few obstacles Phoenix faced in her quest to get the killers off the streets. A trip to the post office and a phone call from the West Coast provide clues that lead Phoenix to the culprits.
Keith Lee Johnson provides an exciting tale that was full of surprise twists and turns. The action was fast paced and edgy. Maybe a true mystery reader would be able to read between the lines and figure out many of the questions this reader had at the end. It appears the author is planning on writing a series of Phoenix Perry mysteries and I will look forward to each one. I liked the concept he used of short chapters, it provided a build up to the action. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy books with fast paced action, but I would be remiss if I did not post a warning regarding some graphic scenes.

Summary: Ready for the Big Screen
Comment: Sugar & Spice is a fast paced read that unfolds like it should be on the big screen. This is a novel that will shock, tantalize, titillate and intrigue every reader that opens the book. The book opens up addressing a taboo subject, same sex sexual abuse behind prison. The basis of the story is about two twins who spent far too much time behind bars. During their prison years they were used and abused. Behind bars they bulked and and upon their release they were ready to take some serious revenge against those they felt who may have wronged them in the past.
Beautiful, intelligent and tough chick detective Phoenix Perry is on the case. Her character is very integral to the story line. Sugar & Spice is a sexy book although it might not appear to be based on the cover. From the intimate love scenes between detective Perry and her husband to the twins spying on their unknowing victims Sugar & Spice is a hot book that will alarmingly peak the imagination of those who may have twisted fetishes about violence and sex. These twins are completely off their rocker and are driven by revenge and lust. They take pride in coming up with creative ways to torture and kill their victims-often sexually abusing them beforehand.
Well written and with a nice touch of pop culture references sprinkled throughout the book, Sugar & Spice is a book that will keep you up all night as the mysterious storyline unfolds. If you have a weak stomach for things like violence and sexual abuse this book is not for you, but if you like to have your imagination peaked by a creative story, then Sugar & Spice is for you. Keith Lee Johnson is a wonderful writer and his books would easily make the transition to the big screen.
