Title: A First !!!!
Review: I loved this book. It was wonderful to read a mystery novel with a Black protagonist that wasn't a ex-con, cop, or a detective: but an intellectual and a legal scholar. I loved the pace, the interplay, and the intrigue on so many levels. The glimspe into the life of the Black upper-class is a welcome one.As someone who rented on the Vineyard, "the way it was before",and was not in Jack and Jill, it brought back memories of a different time.The only reason I did not give this book a five star rating is the editing. I agree with several others that some characters could have been merged or omitted and some of Garland's musings streamlined. I did find myself lost amongst the characters and having to look back to refresh my recollections, but that is the fault of the editors. I throughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to any one whose enjoys a good mystery. Write on Brother !!! I look forward to your next book !
