5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, December 28, 1999

By 

Karen Lengel (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Heat (Paperback)

This book is great -- a page turner from the start, and intertwined with the mystery is a spirited political and social commentary. The politics are thought provoking, but an easy read without being insulting or oversimplified. Looking forward to the sequel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bad Mama Jama, March 25, 2002

This review is from: Black Heat: A Nina Halligan Mystery (Hardcover)

Nina takes no prisoners. Kelley does a good job of creating a reasonably believable story line. His sleuth, Nina is feisty,funky and fun. The barely veiled anger and bitterness about her lost family are just sublimated enough to provide time for investigating. I appreciated the black nationalist gone amuck with corruption stuff, but I was happier with Nina's ability to bounce back from major issues. She is smart, credentialed and able to defend her concerns intellectual and otherwise. Looking forward to future encounters with Ms. Halligan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Politique Noir?--Just Plain Excellent, February 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Black Heat (Paperback)

This refreshing mystery, described by the author as a politcal noir, was very surprising and refreshing. This mystery excited me intelligently. The herione of the book was one of the most strongest black women and I would love to read a series about her. Kelly left a huge opening for a continued story. He also paints vivid pictures of his villians and the historical aspect further inticed me.
