No Hiding Place

by Valerie Wilson Wesley

Book Overview

The Nigerian civil war was the watershed in the history of the Nigerian military.

Won't "HIDE" from this book!

I have read the first three Tamara Hayle novels, and this one was no exception. NO HIDING PLACE, while slightly confusing, still retains the mystery and sharp humor that follows each book. Tamara Hayle and Easy Rawlings (a Walter Moseley creation) are my favorite dectectives and I can't wait to finish EASIER TO KILL, so that I will be ready to grab her brand new offering, THE DEVIL RIDING. By throwing the lifestyles of a hoodlum and combining them with Tamara's ties with her dead brother, out came a story that was complex, sad, and hopeful for a brighter tomorrow for the remaining cast of characters.

Amazing

I've read all of the Tamara Hayle mysteries. I'm amazed how each story is better than the last. They just get more exciting. After each one I think to myself, 'now you can't top that one'; however, Ms. Wesley keeps coming back with more. The characters are so earthy and real. Everyone can relate to these characters in some way or another.

I'm Hooked on Tamara Hayle

I was not a mystery reader at all, until I read Ms. Wesley's first book. I enjoyed it so much I wrote her a thank you note. I have enjoyed everyone of Tamara's adventures and always look forward to the next. I admire what Ms Wesley has accomplished with her main character. She portrays such strength while remaining very female. If you have not read a Tamara Hayle mystery then you must treat yourself. You won't regret it.

Everything that you are looking for:Romance, Comedy, Mystery

I have read the first four books and was in awe of all. I thought that each one was the best book that I have ever read. I especially liked the fact that it was based in Newark. ( I was raised there during that era.) She is an excellent writer. Her books have everything that you are lookng for, romance, comedy, mystery, all rolled up in one. I'm hitting the store for the latest in the series.

surprising ending

mysterious begining and even more astounding ending I didnt put Easier to Kill down Mandy was hiding something. What was it? The book was so good I felt like I was there at the end..I would like to know if there will be any motion pitures in the works of mrs Wesleys works..Also will Tamara and Basil ever get together? If Mrs Wesley is going to be in New York City for another book signing please let me know.....
