DESCRIPTION:
Positively Wonderful! We LOVE Blanche!!!!!!!!!!!! I had read Walter Mosley's mystery novels and was pleased to see African-American characters in a murder-mystery - a genre that seems to be sadly under-represented in our community. I enjoyed Mr. Mosley's treatments immensely, but alas, the undercurrent suggested that only men should be involved in the business of solving myst. "Five Stars" according to Betsy D. Always great readingkeep writing Barbara!. Try it--you might like it. Easy read and entertaining.
But when she pinch-hits for the cook of a local politico's family, she sees Mr. She does it all while raising her teenage niece and nephew as her own, trying to keep their hopes and their future safe. GraceAnne A. When the cook's son is killed, and other deaths follow in Blanche's Roxbury neighborhood, the strands connecting them lead back to the Brindles' house. Blanche does her work and methodically goes about resolving what turns out to be several murders tied to scandal, sex, and heartbreak. Brindle's wife's brittle sorrow and a son's estrangement. Blanche's voice is sassy and sexy, and her take on urban life through African American eyes is blade-sharp and sometimes as cutting. Queen-sized, sensible about her own dignity and that of others, Blanche can read the Boston homes she cleans like the open books they are. DeCandido. From Booklist Blanc
