Grade 9 Up-Newman has compiled over 2500 quotations from 500 individuals. Derived from the 18th century to the current day, these statements deal with myriad topics related not only to the black cultural experience, but also to the many vagaries of life. The quotes are arranged by subject, e.g., "Adolescence," "Black Pride," "Education," "Values," "Women," "Words to Live By." A brief introduction emphasizes the influence of the oral tradition and music on black speech and use of language. The sheer diversity of contributors and ideas ensures a wide audience and plenty of food for thought. Each quote is attributed to the person who expressed it but the original source is not documented. The name, subject, and occupation indexes make this a thorough reference tool for any library.

Series Detective Chief Inspector Webb matches wits and crime theories with amateur criminologist Fred Mace. This British cozy focuses on what appears to be a copycat of a murder that originally took place six years ago in Webb's hometown. Mace's theory is that crimes are the result of someone breaking one of the Ten Commandments, and he works at solving the mystery from that perspective. Fraser deftly intertwines Mace's amateur detecting with that of Webb's staff, dropping red herrings into a somewhat contrived tale. David Graham's narration adds color to the distinctly British cast. Recommended where British mysteries are popular.ASandy Glover, West Linn P.L., OR
