5.0 out of 5 stars "Touched By An Angel", May 8, 2001

By 

Linda Martin (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Postal Blues (Paperback)

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 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.
