Summary: Who's Delivering Murder?
Review: Kansas City homicide detective Joe Johnson experiences some serious postal blues when he and his partner's wife are taken hostage at Kansas City's main post office. During this hostage situation Joe discovers the very lax security at this large and important facility and sees that this is a situation that was just waiting to happen.

After Joe saves the day at the post office, he and his partner Vernon, are teamed up with the FBI to solve the serial killings of local prostitutes. Along the way Joe and Vernon encounter old friends, temptation, and danger.

Postal Blues was a very predictable and at times unrealistic book. The storyline started out good but the author tried to make Joe, the main character, too perfect, and that took away from the book.

Summary: The Postman Rings More Than Twice!
Review: Mr. Alexandria does it again... taking us back to Kansas City... this time he welcomes us to his beautiful city with his creative description, comparing it to Paris, New York, and a country town. Detectives Johnson and Brown return to the scene with more love for family and friends, more laughs, and more respect and admiration for one another. Johnson and Brown have been promoted to Sergeant and assigned to assist the FBI. These men became my heroes!

There is nothing blue about Postal Blues. The author begins distracting us with scenes of a disgruntled postal employee within the walls of the post office. Meanwhile, a serial killer is loose just outside. As each character is introduced, you will begin to feel compassion for the innocent victims, admiration for the strong men, and anger for the criminals.

The author graphically details the crimes commited against 'ladies of the evening'. As the mystery unravels, you are sure to scream with horror and even ecstasy as the author adds his sensual flavor to soften the blows (and they are vicious). There are also amusing blows thrown into the mix that will surely entertain you. Mr. Alexandria makes mystery so suspenseful, romantic, and hilarious!

As you read this sequel, you will experience a myriad of emotions as the author takes you on a wild rollercoaster ride - making you afraid to continue, yet afraid to stop. When you decide to read on (because you can't turn back now:-), you will be glad that you boldly went... into the dark... into the river... into the pain.. and into the light as the mystery is solved and the perpetrators are found.

I highly recommend this romantic mystery!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: POSTAL BLUES....WHAT CAN I SAY?!
Review: The second time around was just as good as the first!
Vincent Alexandria has done it again! His style is so visual
and emotional. Haven't read anyone similar except Eric Jerome Dickey.
The characters could be someone you know. He makes you feel just that close to them. He draws you into the story and makes it hard to put down.
The storyline keeps you guessing, with twists, turns and surprises.
Be prepared for an exhilirating ride!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Touched By An Angel"
Review: The writing skills of Mr. Alexandria can only be described as having been "Touched By An Angel". He has really outdone himself with this to-die-for book-POSTAL BLUES. The characters of Detectives Joe Johnson and Vernon Brown are still very vibrant, witty and seriously taking care of Police business as the story take you from a Post Office Massacre to the Missouri River as they track down a serial killer. Vincent's writing visually takes you into the story and the personalities of all the characters. Pretty Kevin's character deserves an A+. The humor, romance and intrigue captivates all your senses right to the climax. Mr. Alexandria has really made his mark on the "GREAT WRITERS" page of WHODUNITS! Can't wait for the next book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All I Can Say Is "Oh... My... Goodness."
Review: This follow-up mystery to If Walls Could Talk deserves no less than five and a half stars in my opinion. As with the first book, these characters are so real. The situations are so not what I would experience on day to day settings, but I feel I'm right there in the mix. Vincent puts us in the character's heads, and I like that! I can't wait for the next book, and I would really like to see these series turned into movies... soon!

Rating: 5 stars

From the post office to the river, Vincent is a master at creating the scenes that put you right there, taking part in the love, romance, friendship and suspense as he weaves this tale. This is a definite must read. Bring on more!
