Banner Reviewer
What would you do if a
sU'anger claiming to be your
father's love child showed up on
your doorstep?
How would you feel if she/he
ended up a corpse one week
later? That is what Theresa
Galloway, pseudo-private eye
encountered in "Blood Will Tell"
(242 pages, Signet, $5.50), a
page-turning mystery by
African-American writer Terris
McMahan Grimes.
When her newly crowned
half-brother is missing and the
turns up dead, Theresa concludes
that her new family ties can be
nothing but family lies. When
these family ties are indeed
uncovered as family lies, our
gumshoe is now in fear of her
own life and she realizes just
how serious this matter is.
Xetuem
Theresa is a hardworking
mother and wife in Sacramento,
Clalifomia. While trying to
juggle her personal life with that
of her alter-ego, Theresa loses
perspective, and it almost costs
her marriage. It is only after a
stranger manipulates his way
into the heart and home of her
mother that she becomes so
involved in the mystery.
Who dunnit? Who killed
Theresa's half-brother? Was it
Theresa's mom? The man next
door? The butler?
When Theresa realizes this
case is destroying her marriage,
she decides that her days as a
gumshoe must cease, but not
without solving this case, and
uncovering the truth about her
father, and the corpse; only
blood will tell.
Grimes writes a tale that will
surely put Theresa Galloway
among the great female sleuths.
Grimes offers to the African-
American mystery lovers the
chance to see a heroine as one
of their owti. One of the first
novels in the Theresa Galloway
series. Grimes is destined to
take her place beside her alter-
ego and let the world know
there is a place for African-
American mysteries.
