MURDER ON THE DOWN LOW by PAMELA SAMUELS YOUNG A brazen gunman is targeting prominent African-American men on the streets of L.A. The victims are all quintessential family men. Well-educated. Attractive. Successful. But appearances can be deceiving. When the baffling murders are linked to a high-profile lawsuit, a savvy L.A. attorney and a tenacious female detective soon expose a scandalous tale of lust, lies and vengeance.
Pamela Samuels Young gives a voice to the victims of AIDS contracted from unfaithful partners. But more than that she opens the readers eyes to the fact that HIV/AIDS is an epidemic in our communities, running rampant and as Professor Michaels, a character in the book, tells Nichelle - "HIV doesn't pick you because you're gay or because you're a bad person. It picks you because you're available."

Book Club Review Vernetta, Special, J.C., and Nichelle are friends who would do just about anything to make sure they are all happy and safe. When prominent African American men began showing up dead, the Los Angeles Police Department did not want to believe the connection between the deaths. However, when Special crossed the line in the name of vengeance, all eyes rolled in her direction. Special, along with her three best friends, wanted justice to be served when a family member died due to the deceit of one individual.
Mysteries are hard to talk about, especially good ones. Murder on the Down Low is one of those books that once you start talking you are tempted to tell it all. But I have a little restraint. I will say there is drama and suspense in every chapter. Even though, the book was almost 400 pages, it moved along fast. I believe it is due to the short chapters and necessary information without the fluff. In the first half of the book, I could not fathom why there were so many secondary characters, but in the end it all made absolute sense. I recommend mystery readers pick up this book quick, fast, and in a hurry. That is how rapid the pages will turn in an attempt to find out whodunit.
