A Talbar Wallis Mystery
JULIE SMITH
Review by Author Roy Murry
New Orleans is the background city for a heartbreaking and thrilling story with an explosive ending. Baroness, aka Talbar, aka Sandra, decides to become a private eye, a position she is overqualified to do.
She has cognitive skills and computer geek like abilities. Black, proud, and recherche', Talbar enters the man dominated profession as an associate of Eddie Valentino P.I. Agency.
A Black mother's complaint to a friend becomes a case. She and Eddie are paid to investigate.
The backdrop of the investigation is these characters themself. They both have family secrets that unfold and intertwine with the main plot.
The unraveling of the case and their secrets are done in detail. Each conquers their hurdles with emotional results. Talbar's shots a gun for the first time, remembering the past, and Eddie admits his faults were, regaining a son.
I found the narrative too long (353 pages), and feel a shorter version could have done the job for me. However, I did enjoy Talbar's and Eddie's banter throughout the novel.
The characters were well developed and increased my wanting for the next chapter in their career as Private Investigators. GOOD READ.
