I bought this book because it's a mystery. Of course, I was thinking mystery like Jessica Fletcher or Michael Nava's Henry Rios. It was nothing like that. Of course, I do realize that one doesn't need to be a P.I. or an investigative lawyer to solve mysteries. That's what made this book enjoyable.

Hmmm, I was under the impression there would be more of a romantic involvement in this book, but that wasn’t the case. This is a pretty good mystery that happens to feature a gay leading character who bounces between an old fling and a new fling with minimal action occurring “on screen”. I was more than a little surprised by the outcome of the mystery itself and won’t go into any spoilers. Let’s just say the author also left one pretty big turn of events for the very end that I didn’t see coming...more
I love a good mystery, and Greg Lilly delivers in this novel. I loved the emotion this story carried. Who doesn't have an issue or two in their own family? Fingering the Family Jewels highlights some family dysfunctions and weaves it seamlessly into the story line.
A nifty little mystery with a gay lead character.
