MAID IN THE SHADE
"There are times when I love this job, and this book is one of those reasons, for if it hadn't been for this job, I would have never heard of this book. Maid In The Shade is a mystery starring Ruby Gordon, a proud black woman who works as a maid. Ruby has to leave her home in Tennessee to find out what is going on with her old college roommate and best friend Jan Chaney. It seems that someone is trying to kill Jan and Jan has gone into hiding, Ruby has to find out why and stop Jan's would-be-murderer. I loved this book. At first you would think that this book sounds too much like my other Girl, Blanche, from Barbara Neeley's wonderful Blanche mysteries series, but Ruby is her own woman and the only thing that she is remotely similar to Blanche is their occupation and the fact that neither is ashamed of it. Maid In The Shade is the beginning to what I'm sure will be a wonderful mystery series." Thumper, aablc.com
"Cleaning lady turned sleuth, Ruby Gordon, may be scared of bridges, but she treats bad guys to a tongue lashing they won't forget. She made me laugh and think at the same time."

Number 1 on Emerge magazine's Best-Sellers List (November 1998)
"Polkadots Set in the world of publishing, Geri Hunter's debut novel Polkadots is an engrossingly seductive story that explores the attraction between a middle-aged black woman and a younger white man. Polkadots is a pulse-pounding, page-turning, view of lust and desire, and a character study of how selfish indulgences can affect the lives of others. Smoothly written, Polkadots is one of those memorable stories that are so easy to pick up and so difficult to put down.
