A review by iamcaseyrkelley
Sounds Like a Plan by Pamela Samuels Young, Dwayne Alexander Smith
4.0
I received a NetGalley copy for an honest review.
For starters, Forty Acres by Dwayne Alexander Smith is one of my all time favorite books. As a result, this book was something I automatically wanted to read. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a mystery with Black PIs. I used to love both the Easy Rawlings and Tamara Hayle series by Walter Mosley and Valerie Wesley Wilson respectively so this is something that is filling a void in Black literature. While I thought some of the timing of the coincidences were not realistic given the size of LA and traffic to get from point A to point B, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I rarely figure out the twist or solve a mystery but I was able to assume a little of the ending. I think because I have been reading a lot of romance lately, I wanted more of a spark between them or maybe for something to happen. But I also think it was a good idea to limit it because it could be an unnecessary distraction for true mystery fans.
I believe that this would be a good television series with each episode being a different case to solve. I would watch it!
