Rating:  Summary: Sugar and Spice Ain't So Nice Review: Keith Lee Johnson spins a suspenseful mystery titled Sugar and Spice. When you read this novel, you will realize that the characters in this book are not so nice. You will be on the edge of your seat as you travel from Malibu, California to Alexandria, Virginia following the vicious crime spree committed by the recently released twins. In July 2001, the twins are set free from prison, While in prison, they plotted and planned revenge on those who mistreated them on the inside and outside. First, they had to take care of the prison warden, then Heather Connelly, a high school sweetheart. More vicious killings soon followed. FBI agent Phoenix Perry was vacationing in California when she read about the murder of the prison warden. Her curiosity piqued, she could hardly finish her vacation before her detective mind began churning with ways to solve this case. Very few clues, a hard-nosed boss, and an over sexed partner, are just a few obstacles Phoenix faced in her quest to get the killers off the streets. A trip to the post office and a phone call from the West Coast provide clues that lead Phoenix to the culprits. Keith Lee Johnson provides an exciting tale that was full of surprise twists and turns. The action was fast paced and edgy. Maybe a true mystery reader would be able to read between the lines and figure out many of the questions this reader had at the end. It appears the author is planning on writing a series of Phoenix Perry mysteries and I will look forward to each one. I liked the concept he used of short chapters, it provided a build up to the action. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy books with fast paced action, but I would be remiss if I did not post a warning regarding some graphic scenes. Jeanette APOOO BookClub
