In this sixth book in the Benjamin Justice series, Ben is on Prozac after the horrors depicted in the previous book, Blind Eye. The novel itself seems to be on Prozac, compared to earlier books in the series with not nearly as much (gay) sex and violence. This tamer style, however, is not a bad thing. The mystery of first one and then a second murder, both related to historical preservation battles in West Hollywood, is interesting and fast-paced. Ben's temporary job at City Hall gets him in

An ok mystery. I like that the main character is a gay man who isn't relegated to playing a supporting character, which is how the books I usually read treat gay men, if they are in the novels at all. I like that it is also set in a place I've never read about until this novel: West Hollywood. This book is part of a series, but the story itself wasn't exciting or intelligent enough for me to continue to pursue reading more of the series.

This book is chock full of the history of West Hollywood and a fun read, if you like history. Fortunately, I do, so it was a joy to read that way. The mystery is riveting and the main characters interesting and enjoyable. And Benjamin Justice on Prozac is at his most even keeled, though the drug does kill his more powerful aspects. Now I just need to find Spider Season.

Not my favorite of this series, largely because there were so many instances of name dropping. Every page sounded like "Christopher Rice sat to my left, while Famous Couple XYZ strolled down the street." (My example is hampered by my inability to recall any actual celebrities at this moment.) Also, the plot of this one was fairly easy to figure out. Still, entertaining read.

Very, very good read; typical Wilson fashion - you think you have the ending figured out - but never do! I thoroughly enjoyed the deeper character development of the main protagonist, Benjamin Justice! A must-read for any Benjamin Justice fan!

The best in the series so far. I really enjoyed the story and Justice made it through without any further physical damage.
