- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Valerie Wilson Wesley wrote a very compelling book. The character development and plot were very engaging. Tamara Hale was a main character who I easily became interested in. She had her flaws, like all people do, but I had to keep listening, to see how everything would work out for her. If you like a good mystery, this is a great choice. The narrator did an awesome job too. Her voice was pleasant, and edgy when it needed to be.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this author and her stories, the adventures of Tamara Hayley, P. I. and I really enjoyed the narrator. This is my second time hearing the audiobook and it never gets old. An excellent mystery!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the eighth installment of the popular Tamara Hayle series by Valerie Wilson Wesley. Tamara Hayle is a Private Detective that has a leisurely, `home-girl' way of unveiling a mystery. She’s a character with flaws but that makes her feel real.This was a book club selection and my first read of her series. I would have liked to have read “Where Evil Sleeps” to be completely caught up on the characters and their past. My favorite characters were the mysteriously sexy Basil Dupre and Tamara's best friend Wyvetta Green (the proud owner of the Beauty Biscuit), that adds just the right touch to this story. Tamara's quandary about her two lovers puts some heat into the action and I found myself wondering which man she would choose. I felt Tamara's anguish at her son's choices which put him smack dab in the middle of her investigation when Lilah, who is found murdered in her car with Jamal's backpack in the rear seat.Not enough mystery/suspense. When the killer is revealed, it is slightly anti-climatic because you realize that it wasn't as complicated as you originally thought. However, the story kept me guessing with each flip of the page until the very end.This was my first and sincerely not my last Tamara Hayle mystery.
