Hey Everybody!!!! The first thing I want to say is "I DON'T DO MYSTERY BOOKS". I have over 200 African American books in my personal library at home...and not one of them are a Mystery. But my Bookstore Lady kept saying "Emma, you have to read this Mystery Book"....and I finally broke down and read it. The book was EXCELLENT!!!!! I loved Joe and Vernon relationship. The book was funny, sad, happy, and a little twist of romance. The suspense of who killed Raymond almost killed me....but I refused to go to the back of the book. I really enjoyed If Walls Could Talk.....I still don't do (other writers) mysteries, but I can't wait for Mr. Alexandria next book. I have became one of your biggest fans. Thank you for sharing your talent with us Mr. Alexandria.

Although this book is fast pace, it has it all - intrigue, suspense, romance, murder, and a web of deception. The two detectives have a great relationship & you enjoy the dialogue between the two of them. Can't wait until the author writes his next book. Move over Walter Mosley, there is a new mystery writer in town!

V. Alexandria "If Walls Could Talk" I would say the book started off slow. Once I got to the murder, the process of elimination was suspenseful, the plot took off and I could not wait to put aside my daily responsibilities, so that I could finish the book. I am not a mystery lover, but after reading "If Walls Could Talk" I am persuaded that V. Alexandria is on his way to many more great mystery novels. As a writer myself, I realize that Vincent Alexandria has much to offer us as readers and writers, I realize mystery novels requires much work and imagination. Toward the end of the book, I felt like I had been seduced into a world that was sad, yet complete. I was moved by Seirra, and Joe's character, that they would take on a responsibility to raise her mother's child, and I think Joe's relationship with Seirra should have been a little more intimate, and Joe's relationship with the late Raymond should have been more descriptive so that, toward the end, I would have appreciated them raising that child together. Over all, I was Thrilled.

"IF WALLS COULD TALK" IS A PLOT TWISTING MURDER MYSTERY THAT IS FILLED WITH SUSPENSE. EACH TIME I THOUGHT I KNEW WHO THE KILLER WAS, THE AUTHOR WOULD TURN THE PLOT IN ANOTHER DIRECTION AND THROW ME OFF COURSE. HIS COLORFUL CHARACTERS KEPT ME LAUGHING AND HIS VIVID DETAILS RETAINED MY ATTENTION. BECAUSE I REALLY ENJOY READING ROMANCE NOVELS, I WAS PLEASED WITH THE WAY MR. ALEXANDRIA INCORPORATED IT IN THIS BOOK. I ENJOYED THE BOOK SO MUCH THAT I READ IT IN ONE EVENING. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ HIS NEXT NOVEL!

This is a fast-paced murder mystery with lot's of twists and turns and political intrigue. The plot is further complicated by a developing love interest between the main character (Detective Joe Johnson) and one of his attractive suspects. This is a well written book and a real page turner, whether you're a murder mystery fan or not. "Two thumbs up!" -ES

If Walls Could Talk is a luring, suspense filled, mystery novel that
will bolt you down until the last page. I enjoyed the witty yet grim
dialogue between Joe and Raymond as the close-knit duo explored,
examined, and probed day in and day out to solve the mysterious murder
of Raymond Tyler. While uncertainty is placed on several possible
suspects, Joe and Vernon will keep you in wonderment until the very
end. Tracy??? Okay, I won't go there. Issues!!!! Anyway...If you
like mystery, suspense, and romance all wrapped into one, pick up this
novel and enjoy the ride.

If Walls Could Talk what would they say ,about the night of April 17th and the Dupree family ! Just who could , would , and did kill Raymond Tyler? This murder mystery was one I enjoyed especially because of the romance ! I love a good mystery with some romance . There were so many suspects to predict and I was pleased my prediction was the right one ! A good murder mystery with twisted desires and twisted folks . There were clues along the way ! No I will not tell !

If Walls Could Talk, is an extremely well written mystery novel. The suspension of finding out the murder kept me on the edge of my chair. The author, Vicent Alexandria, threw in a few twist and turns to divert the readers from solving the mystery. This book is not only a mystery but it is also a romance a novel.

The emotional changes that you experience while reading this book are insurmountable. There were moments in the book that I could relate to the emotions of the characters. This novel makes you acquire solidarity with the characters. I highly recommend this book to all the mystery lovers. I cannot wait for the next one.

"If Walls Could Talk" is definitely a "MUST READ" for any whodunit fan. The intrigue involving love and murder really captivates your own super sleuth tendencies as you try to help detectives Joe Johnson and Vernon Brown solve this murder case.It is hard to beleive that this is a "FIRST" novel For Mr. Alexandria. We look forward for the next GRAB YOU, KEEP YOU whodunit!

If Walls Could Talk takes you to many places that you recognize immediately and pulls people from your everyday field of reference and weaves a story that makes you wonder about the people you think you really know. The crime is one that too often highlights our news, with the exception being that we get to go all of the way with it. The reader visits the bloody scene of the heinous crime and follows every suspected character into places that will make you laugh and shudder. There are relationships here that you want to embrace and others you will want to shake off. This novel entertains and informs. It is a well written offering by this new author, Vincent Alexandria, that will make the reader want to enjoy it in silent seclusion until Mr. Alexandria reveals exactly WHODUNIT.
