Devil's Gonna Get Him

Don't usually read mysteries, but this book kept me turning the pages. Excellent read, and the characters jump off the page. Good dialogue. I have read other books by Ms.Wesley, but this is the first time I read one of her books from the Tamara Hayle Mysteries. My interest is piqued. I'll be looking for more from this series.

"Doesn't the devil always get his due?" The purpose of Valerie Wilson Wesley's "Devil's Gonna Get Him", is to keep the reader in suspense and make the reader always want to know what will happen next. This book entertains the reader and keeps the reader in suspense, and makes the reader think about that one question in every good book; "who did it.""Devil's Gonna Get Him" by Wesley, deals with a private investigator by the name of Tamara Hayle. She takes a job from a wealthy Lincoln Storey to try to find out how his daughter's fiance really is. Well all of a sudden Lincoln is murdered. So now Tamara the Private Investigator is trying to find out who did it. Now the only way to find out who did it is to read it.The setting is in ritzy parts of New Jersey. The settings make this book in parts a really great book. The parties that are thrown and the places where they are at make the reader wonder why people are being killed.Language is what really makes this book something to read. It's a very upbeat book for the most part. It's an up down pattern. It does have fulgar words in it but what book doesn't.In every book characterization is important. In the novel "Devil's Gonna Get Him", there are the characters the reader knows are good and the ones the reader just can't figure out. Tamara Hayle, a Private Investigator, plays a key role in this book. She's always around the scene when a muder happens. So it makes the book even more interesting. Lincoln Storey is a wealthy man and the reader just doesn't know if he is a good character or a bad character. There's so much more that i could tell but I'm going to leave it upu to everyone to find out.If there isn't a plot in a story basically there really isn't a story. In Valerie Wilson Wesley's "Devil's Gonna Get Him" the plot is very conflicting. Ther are a lot of conflicts such as Tamara Hayle vs. Brandon Pike. Brandon and Tamara were a thing three years ago then they saw each other at a party. The weird thing is, well Tamara has to investigate on Brandon Pike for Lincoln Storey. There are so many other conflicts but the only way to find out is to read the book.This novel is a keeper. I give it a four. It has a full package. All these things make this book complete. But the only way to find out is to pick this excellent book up and read it!

Long after I've forgotten mysteries based on ornate plots, I still remember the ones based on interesting characters -- and this one by Valerie Wilson Wesley is a pip! In addition to Tamara Haynes' hard-working private investigator, we have a wealthy and philandering street boy made good (Lincoln Storey) and a whole fascinating crew of people who stood to gain from his death under suspicious circumstances: his smooth but untrustworthy wife Daphne; her daughter Alexa from another marriage; Alexa's friend Tasha (who is arrested for murdering him); the restaurateur Tate -- an old family friend of Tamara's; aspiring politician and attorney Stella Pharr; and Brandon Pike, who is squiring Daphne and Alexa around a couple of years after having broken up with Tamara. Incidentally, the murder weapon is -- peanut butter. Someone laced Storey's bean dip; and Storey was notorious for his allergy to peanuts. So kick off your shoes, relax, and let Tamara show you what happened.

DEVIL'S GONNA GET HIM is the 2nd book in the Tamara Hayle series that has confirmed it's place in my favorite detective series (first is Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlings). She is still as smart and capable as she was in her first book, WHEN DEATH COMES STEALING. A obnoxious society patron who pays a visit to Ms. Hayle's office to check on his daughter's new boyfriend starts the ball rolling, and the patron's murder kicks it into high gear. I have all of the mysteries, and, if lucky, will have any future novels involving the new Christy Love of the millenium.

I am only 13 years old, I thought the book was riveting; it caught your attention from the start. The clever characters really caught my attention. Th book was totally a go-getter which is definitely getting good reviews from me!
