Excellent drama-filled mystery, January 31, 2008
This review is from: Searchable Whereabouts (Paperback)
Rahkel Williams is single and living on her own. She is still living with the tragedy of losing her son to a car crash, her ex-husband to a shooting three years ago, and she's healing mentally and physically from an abusive relationship. She works two jobs; one at a nursing home and the other for her uncle. She is really close to her Uncle Leon. A recovering drug addict and alcoholic, she sometimes sees objects and people when she looks at the clouds.
Things are going pretty well though, until the day Uncle Leon is murdered. Rahkel just can't let it go because it is mysterious to her. Since the police have no real leads, she decides to do some digging of her own as well as hire her own investigator, Darrin Miller.
Rahkel soon finds herself falling in love and going on dates again after all these years. She feels younger and happier while she is seeing Darrin, until the police tell her some background information on Darrin. Now, she isn't sure if she can trust him anymore.
More people are being murdered and Rahkel is trying to stay alive. She keeps digging for information and keeps getting closer to the truth. As it unfolds, lies are being revealed and people aren't who they seem to be. She doesn't know whom she can trust anymore.
As the clues come together, Rahkel wonders who her uncle really was. He doesn't seem to be the person she always knew, loved, and trusted.
It is a race against the clock to find the clues and piece them together. Rahkel is starting to lose it. She needs to solve this before its too late and the killer gets her too.
Tinisha Nicole Johnson's newest novel is a compelling, drama-filled, suspenseful mystery. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. With all the twists and turns I would have never guessed the ending. It had a really good plot-and I fell in love with the characters.

Skeletons In Your Closet, March 5, 2008
This review is from: Searchable Whereabouts (Paperback)
Searchable Whereabouts is a suspenseful novel centered on the family of Rahkel Williams. Rahkel has suffered numerous tragic events in her life recently and she's trying to overcome the obstacles daily.
Rahkel is recovering from drug addiction, struggling with the loss of her son, and now her favorite uncle Leon has been found murdered. She's determined to find his killer and in her search discovers more than she bargained for. She has a handful of clues but no defined inkling as to where she needs to start. In her search for answers to the pieces of the puzzle, she plans clandestine meetings, and bodies are dropping like flies. The family is in for a rude awakening when all the skeletons begin to tumble out of the closet.
This mysterious tale is centered around family, love, deception, sexual perversity, and murder. Ms. Johnson did a satisfactory job with this intense novel as she fascinates you with murder, lies, and a bountiful amount of mayhem. One major disadvantage was poor editing, but other than that, I commend her on Searchable Whereabouts.

Excellent story, July 25, 2008
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Searchable Whereabouts (Paperback)
I really liked reading this great story. Rakhel goes through a lot after losing her son and finding out the truth about someone she loved after his death. There were so many secrets unwrapped in this book. My heart pounded faster and faster as I came closer to the very unexpected end. The bad guy surely got what he deserved after all the nasty things he'd done to Rahkel and her loved ones.
I'm a teen who normally doesn't like reading but I can say that Ms. Tinisha got my attention and held on to it. I finished the book in less than two days! I look forward to more books by Ms. Tinisha and I love her book trailer. The music is so eerie!
