Review: My 2nd 5 star for indie author Vicki Tyley's  2nd story "Sleight Malice"
Rating: 5 out of 5

I find I have to look up some of Vicki's words, like her description of Desley's dining room table is a "jarrah" table- I look it up and there are pic's to show what it looks like and I find out that it is made from a eucalyptus tree from SW of Western Australia, now I can visualize this table they are sitting around. One more quick example, is when Desley and Trent were in Nina's cafe and Desley looked at Trent at one point and in her mind at his actions remind's Desley of a "meerkat" ( back to Google and the pic's of a meerkat) and you can now picture the hilarious image of what Trent looked like at that point. (I love the way Vicki puts these words into her story's) I laughed out loud. Vicki seems to know the exact timing of when to make you laugh for a second and then you get right back to the nitty-gritty of reading more of "Sleight Malice"I cannot put this book down.Vicki is a top notch mystery writer and a perfectionest.  Her writing flows so smoothly and her descriptions of every character, place and thing is so crystal clear and her ability to produce so many different characters and twists & turns, she keeps you guessing through out the entire story at who the culprit is and I can never guess who until she reveals the culprit near the end of the story. Unbelievable intelligence, knowledge, insight, observations and talent this lady has. I get such enthusiastic enjoyment when I sit and read a Vicki Tyley book.I think I posted somewhere that authors should be the 8th wonder of the world and that is where Vicki Tyley belongs. Where would we readers be without authors? I cannot imagine one day without reading.Vicki Tyley if you hear lots of readers clapping and if you can visualize a standing ovation, you will see me in the front of the line. You have a great writing career ahead of you as writing is your forte for sure.
