The writing skills of Mr. Alexandria can only be described as having been "Touched By An Angel". He has really outdone himself with this to-die-for book-POSTAL BLUES. The characters of Detectives Joe Johnson and Vernon Brown are still very vibrant, witty and seriously taking care of Police business as the story take you from a Post Office Massacre to the Missouri River as they track down a serial killer. Vincent's writing visually takes you into the story and the personalities of all the characters. Pretty Kevin's character deserves an A+. The humor, romance and intrigue captivates all your senses right to the climax. Mr. Alexandria has really made his mark on the "GREAT WRITERS" page of WHODUNITS! Can't wait for the next book!

i love this book.. if you are into murder mystery books u will love this book with serious and funny parts in the book oh love is in this book ..Mr alexandria does a wonderful job keeping you up all nite to finish this book also wonderfully written.. put this book on your list of must reads...

I just finished reading Postal Blues. Vincent Alexandria did it again. His descriptive phrases are exceptional and his surprise ending was a surprise! I am anxious to read the third book of the trilogy.

The second time around was just as good as the first!
Vincent Alexandria has done it again! His style is so visual
and emotional. Haven't read anyone similar except Eric Jerome Dickey.
The characters could be someone you know. He makes you feel just that close to them. He draws you into the story and makes it hard to put down.
The storyline keeps you guessing, with twists, turns and surprises.
Be prepared for an exhilirating ride!

This follow-up mystery to If Walls Could Talk deserves no less than five and a half stars in my opinion. As with the first book, these characters are so real. The situations are so not what I would experience on day to day settings, but I feel I'm right there in the mix. Vincent puts us in the character's heads, and I like that! I can't wait for the next book, and I would really like to see these series turned into movies... soon!

A very enjoyable read. I can't wait for Detectives Johnson and Brown next case.

The storyline was great. The description of the characters and dialogue was very realistic. The author kept me guessing until the end. I loved it so much that I completed this book in two days. The second book: Postal Blues even better.

As readers partake each sentence of Postal Blues, author Vincent Alexandria takes them on a mystical journey that will have them hungry for more. A serial killer is on the loose leaving police and residents baffled as to who is militating "women of the night". Detectives Vincent Brown and Joe Johnson are assigned to crack the lyrical case. Yes lyrical. You will laugh, cry and be angry with this suspense thriller filled with love, lust, self-destruction, childhood anger, the sound of music and more. Alexandria traps minds and heart as he utilizes both his literary and musical skills to dance in harmony with the readers mind. Do not miss out, for this electrifying piece awaits you.

If you like murder mysteries, you'll love Postal Blues.
Vincent Alexandria takes you vicariously into the world
of dectives Joe Johnson and Vernon Brown.
Even as they confront danger, their love for the job pushes
them forward to keep the streets of Kansas City safe.
This love stems from their commitment to their families and
friends.
So tell the Big Boys to make room for Vincent R. Alexandria.

Kansas City homicide detective Joe Johnson experiences some serious postal blues when he and his partner's wife are taken hostage at Kansas City's main post office. During this hostage situation Joe discovers the very lax security at this large and important facility and sees that this is a situation that was just waiting to happen.

After Joe saves the day at the post office, he and his partner Vernon, are teamed up with the FBI to solve the serial killings of local prostitutes. Along the way Joe and Vernon encounter old friends, temptation, and danger.

Postal Blues was a very predictable and at times unrealistic book. The storyline started out good but the author tried to make Joe, the main character, too perfect, and that took away from the book.
