title: Juba Good: A Ray Robertson Mystery (Rapid Reads)
author: Vicki Delany
description: "A page-turner filled with suspense. The characters are true to life as is the setting. Ray Robinson, as the main character, is a believable character complete with flaws. The plot is unpredictable with a twist at the end. Highly Recommended." (<i>CM Magazine</i> 2014-03-21)<br /><br />"A murder mystery that explores the complexity of culture, in a simple narrative...The story feels ripped from the headlines...This relevance, coupled with the quick narrative pace, gives the book immediacy. Robertsons perspective is relatable and insightful. Delanys handling of setting and culture distinguish this novel from other cop murder dramasa genre it fits into comfortably. The descriptions are focused, so theyre clear and not wordy...Delanys skill with concise plotting and characterization means that nothing valuable is left out...A great waiting-room read for people who want to experience worldwide thrills from within the safety of their hometown." (<i>ForeWord Reviews</i> 2014-06-01)<br /><br />"Tense and gritty, but not overtly so...[Delany has] won awards for previous mystery stories, and [her] talents come through here...Can be easily completed by a struggling or reluctant reader...[and] could spark an interest in reading for those looking for a good detective story." (<i>VOYA</i> 2014-06-01)
