Shelly Williams is an African-American former teacher from Washington, D.C., who now owns a successful online beauty business. When she isn’t working, she spends her free time attending lavish D.C. social events and buying high-end designer clothing. Her world collapses into chaos when a favorite past student, Wendell “Wicked” Washington, is found murdered. She volunteers to attempt to find Wicked’s killer to keep an angry mob of young black men from locating the killer first. Wicked’s friends wish to avenge his murder by using their own brand of lethal street retaliation. As if things weren’t complicated enough, Shelly also meets two ragamuffin brothers, Tyrone and Tyree, at a Chinese carryout. She helps them solve their family problems as she investigates Wicked’s murder. In fear for her safety, her family demands she take her cousin Mink along with her during the investigation. Mink is a female ex-kickboxer and army veteran with a penchant for violence. Armed with street smarts from growing up in one of Washington, D.C.’s toughest neighborhoods, the two women follow a single clue across parts of Washington, D.C., that tourists rarely visit. Shelly must trade in her designer clothes—and some of her morals—and hit the inner city of Washington, D.C., to find out who killed Wicked Washington.

Being born in DC this was a great read because I was able to relate to many of the places mentioned, for example, Haines Point,Six Flags,and the Capital Center. All of the above reminded me of memories from my teenage/young adult years. Also some of the places mentioned are right in my neighborhood where I am presently living.The character descriptions are well written and one can picture them in their mind while reading the book.My mental pictures were great.
There are many present day issues presented which made the circumstances very realistic, for example,the importance of education, older children having to watch the younger, not making children a priority over nonworking men,and grandparent having to raise their offsprings child.
The story moves along and the actions presented are well thought out.
Mink for example plans well and has all of the steps covered. I hope that later there will be a sequel which will offer the reader a chance to see what the characters are doing. Does Shelly get married?
What becomes of Tyree and Tyrone? Looking forward for sequel.

Rated the book on the high end of my scale of 1 to 10. Met Sonja D. Jones and loved hearing her further define the who, why and what of each character of the plot.
As a native Washingtonian, I really enjoyed this book. The author kept my interest by talking about so many familiar places. Her book tells a story that keeps you turning the pages. Job well done, and I can't wait to purchase the next one!
This story is very refreshing due to its originality in plot and development of its characters. If you know anything about the District of Columbia then this book comes off as authentic and well researched. I love new authors that hit home runs on their first attempt. Can't wait for her next book!
This book was a great read. This book keep me interested so much so I almost missed my stop on the metro several times. I could picture the events in my mind as I read them. We all know a Shelly and a Mink. I think what keep me interested the most was the mystery of it all.
Great job Sonja! I know your next book will be hot!
This book was a non-stop read for me. I can't wait for the author to write more. I truly enjoyed it.
Wicked Washington takes you on a roller coaster ride through the streets of Washington DC to find a killer. As a born and raised Washingtonian, I really imagined being at some of the fictional locations in the book. I can see a Shelly Williams mystery series in the near future. If you love a good mystery, urban drama and fashion, Wicked Washington is a page turner and must-read. Wicked Washington
I thoroughly enjoyed "Wicked Washington" the novel is truly a good read. The story line is identifiable on several levels. As a native Washingtonian, I particularly enjoyed the descriptions and similarities of various restaurants, hot spots and Wards in various parts of the city, I found the Authors accounts to be very accurate.
The story line incorporates all of the necessities which translate to "A good read"; Drama-that takes the reader through a whole range of emotions such as sadness,fear,humility and triumph. Suspense-that keeps you on the edge of your seat,coupled with the perfect amount of comedic relief that allows the reader to wipe away the tears and fears for the relief that laughter provides.
"Wicked Washington" is well rounded read, in that the Author writes in a manner that truly invites the reader in. You become invested in the characters,who come across with the familiarity of a relative or friend,you are anxious to read page after page to find out if the story has the ending that you prayed for!!!.
I am truly looking forward to reading Sonja Jones' next novel,she is sure to be added to list of my favorite Authors.
