Well, I found this author here on Goodreads. I could not get this book from MELCAT so I went ahead and bought it. I am so glad I did. Once I started reading this book, it was hard for me to put it down when I had to! It was full of murder, suspense, and sex.
Detective Shevaughn Robinson was really a character that I felt like I got to know. She was on the case of the murders and really had a hard time with the gore on the scene of the first murder. Also in the book is Tony O'Brien. He is a report ...more

Jean doesn't disappoint...
"Ace of Hearts" was featured on Nia Virtual Book Tours, and as the coordinator I jumped in...not knowing that this book was not meant for scary little ole me.
Yes, you read correctly, “scary.” But my slight fear didn’t stop the pages from turning. And I believe you too will do the same.

Move over King there is a new Queen in town, and her name is Jean Holloway! Ace of Hearts was an all night read. I could not put it down. Shevaughn Robinson is a great character, someone whom you would love to have as a friend. Jean gets into the mind of a killer with frightening reality! I anticipate her next book! I highly reccomend this book to readers who love suspense and thrills! Goodreads, only allows five stars, I would have rated this a perfect 10!

Well, I would have given myself 5 stars, but there's always room for improvement. All I can say is read the reviews. I promise to grab you & take you on a ride down memory lane with some twist and turns.
Ace of Hearts was a 2008 Best Mystery finalist by the African American Literary Awards Show and 2009 Best New Author nominee by AAMBC!
What a rush! ;o)

I liked the characters. There was nothing overly polished or bland about them; they were ordinary people, believable. I also appreciated the fact that Holloway was able to weave in a bit of social commentary.
I have to say that I was jarred by pacing, which largely explains my three star rating. There were vague descriptions and the action moved fast, albeit with many surprising twists.
This is definitely a plot-driven story, and I read very few such works so I am, undoubetly biased. I tend to fa ...more

This was a thrilling read! I felt connected to Robinson and I felt her anger, happiness, and sadness right a long with her. She is a strong woman who overcame. Ace of Hearts will take you on a roller coaster ride into the mind of a serial killer, his victims, and Det. Robinson, who is hell bent on catching him before he strikes again.

This is the new & improved version of the original. I learned that sometimes U should follow your instincts. PHE Ink, my new publisher allowed me to add 60 pages, revise, re-edit and I'm VERY pleased.
