“This story is amazing. Alretha Thomas has done a superb job of creating another magical whodunit. The female characters are strong and amazing. The villain is portrayed in a way that you almost sympathize with him. I really enjoyed the story. The plot was believable. The sub-stories were beautifully executed, and did not overshadow the main story line. I will definitely recommend this story to others.” – Amazon Review
The Women On Retford Drive (Dancing Hills Mystery Series Book 1)
Julia Pritchard, an aging sitcom star making a comeback, and her stepdaughter, Blythe Pritchard, an aspiring attorney, form a pact to start fresh and pursue their dreams. But their plans go awry when Keith Pritchard, Julia’s soon-to-be ex-husband and Blythe’s father, goes missing and is presumed dead, the day they plan to move out of his mansion.
The women are filled with bittersweet emotions when they consider the idea that Keith, a tycoon and functional alcoholic, could be out of their lives for good. Moreover, they fear the police will name them as persons of interest because of the abuse they suffered at Keith’s hands. Julia believes Keith hasn’t met with foul play but orchestrated his own disappearance, hoping the women will be blamed. However, Blythe believes her father is dead. When the police reveal a damning piece of evidence, which could result in one of them being charged with Keith’s possible murder, they join forces to find out what happened to him. Did one of the women go off script and kill Keith, or is another agenda at play, unbeknownst to the women and the police, that’s far more sinister?

Four friends forever. One unspeakable night. Twenty years of separation.
“Four Ladies Only!!! This book is AMAZING!!!! I Loved it!!!!”
-Gwendolyn P. Tolbert (CA), Amazon Reviewer
When Alretha Thomas begins the opening chapter of “Four Ladies Only,” Sabrina’s tone is soft, subdued, and engaging, but then all I can say is “Wow,” as the story turns to the next character and the next and the next. This rollercoaster ride of a novel is amazing. Piece by piece, bit by bit, Thomas draws us in with her magnet of masterful storytelling, her authentic characters, and a suspenseful page-turner that defies the reader to put her novel down. We laugh, we cry, we get angry, and sometimes stand back on our heels rereading a passage wondering if we read what we thought we just read. Sheridan, Victoria, Danielle, and Faye take us on a whirlwind ride through a significant part of their lives. The author displays them on a stage where they and circumstances are ever changing before our eyes; the reader is spellbound seeking to find the next layer, the twist that we know is coming, and the reveal that almost makes our heart stop in transit.
– Doris Dancy, Author of Jagged Edges
Here’s the set-up:
Sheridan Hawkins is a chain-smoking, former high school prom queen, trying to survive a marriage fraught with financial and emotional difficulties.
Faye “Dimples” Davis is the first lady of a megachurch who desperately wants to have a baby.
Victoria Williams is an elementary school teacher fighting for the love of her estranged husband and children.
Danielle Wiley is a powerhouse attorney grappling with her sexual identity.
These are the heroines of “Four Ladies Only.” Their friendship began two decades ago in middle school and continued through high school. However, in their senior year, a horrific event took place that destroyed their relationship and belief and trust in one another. Twenty years later, the death of their mutual friend, Sabrina Brown, motivates them to try to reconcile. However, in the process, they are forced to tackle the secrets, lies, deceit, and hypocrisy that underpin each of their lives. But they soon come to realize that their biggest hurdle will be facing and reliving the one night that led to twenty years of separation.
