Coming in mass market paperback May 1st!
For Kendra Clayton life is good—for about five minutes. Then her sweetie, lawyer Carl Brumfield, leaves town to help out his sister in Cleveland. Her soon-to-be-married best friend picks out a hideous bridesmaid dress for her to wear (a sequined Smurf-blue nightmare with a bow on the butt). The work she loves as a part-time GED instructor turns into the job from hell when a retired kindergarten teacher with the personality of a piranha becomes her new boss. And to top it all off, Trish Harmon, aka Detective Trish Harmon of the Willow, Ohio police department, shows up at her class. To say Detective Harmon and Kendra don't see eye to eye is like saying people in hell are a little warm. And now Detective Harmon is looking for Kendra's favorite student, a troubled young man named Timmy who has been straightening out his life. A pretty local beautician is dead, and Timmy is suspect number one. When he later shows up at Kendra's apartment begging for help, it's only one more step before Kendra's back on the road to trouble again, trying to find out who the real killer is, stepping over the line from a nice safe life into danger. . .and getting tangled in the deadly roots of secrets and desire. Read an excerpt. BUY THE BOOK from BookSense, Amazon or Barnes & Noble. 
TANGLED ROOTS Harlequin/Kimani, June, 2006 Trade Paperback 256 pages ISBN: 1-5831-4608-3  "Smart, witty, and fast-paced, this second Kendra Clayton novel is as likeable as the first." —CrimeSpree Magazine "...a culturally specific, universally appealing, character-driven, top-rate whodunit." —Dwight Hobbes, Insight News "Angela Henry has written a delicious mystery with well-developed characters, some you just love to hate and others who tug at your heartstrings. The plot has enough twists and turns that it is impossible to guess who really did what and exactly what the real motives are. It was intriguing and thrilling and I would recommend it for those who love a good suspense tale." —RawSistaz Reviewers "Henry fills a niche that has been void since the absence of Valerie Wilson Wesley's Tamara Hayle series. Looking for a good mystery series which features an African American female sleuth, check out the Kendra Clayton series by Angela Henry." —APOOO (A Place of Our Own) Bookclub "What's most appealing about Kendra (who was introduced in The Company You Keep) is that she's not actually a detective, she's an average person who manages to solve a crime by snooping around, putting herself in harm's way to help others. It's an endearing quality and makes the reader want to know more about her. With other appealing characters and witty dialogue, this is an enjoyable read." 4 Stars —Romantic Times Magazine  |
