This so-called "mystery" dragged enormously. It really bored me to tears, although I honestly had some hopes for it.
The storytelling was way too detailed and seemed to concentrate in quite an amazing fashion on the most uninteresting and unimportant bits, while, at the same time, I got an overall impression of reading an vastly superficial plot.
All this conservative and extremely annoying Bible talk certainly didn't help matters either. Yes, the Jehovah cult in this story is in the centre of the...more

This is just too soap opera-ish, with ex-lovers, secret/adopted son, kidnapped granddaughter, and whole thing with Jehovah Witness and Congregation. I am never such a fan of any LGBT story with religious theme. So this one, who's focusing on the bad guy being "evil" because of the Jehovah scriptures, that just doesn't sit well with me. It makes me feel uncomfortable and I think downplay the evilness of the guy (not because he's evil but because he's based on everything he's done due to his relig...more

#2 of Todd Mills series. Interesting flashbacks of gay journalist Todd Mils in his college days, attempting to deny his feelings and convince himself he is straight.
Todd Mills is taken by surprise when college sexual encounters reemerge to disrupt both his life and that of his best friend, lesbian attorney Janice Gray. Janice, it turns out, had a son either by Todd or by another classmate, who also had an affair with Todd. Now that son, Zeb, appears, desperate to protect his own baby daughter fr...more

I guess it wasn't the best one of he series, though I have only read the first two so far.
But still I liked it.
I agree that it was too soap-opera-ish. It was just too much for one book; and then on the other hand there were passages that were telling the same thing over and over for pages. I think it wouldn't have been a bad idea to split it in two shorter books. I guess that would have made it a more pleasant read because it was hard to follow the plot.

Pretty good gay mystery in which an old friend of Todd's reveals secrets kept since their college days as some creepy fundamentalists with nefarious intent close in. I didn't like this as much as I liked the first book - way too much time spent with the creepy fundamentalists.
This was the worst of the Todd Mills stories, but still a pretty good read.
It was kind of soap opera-ish with long lost children and ex-lovers.

This is the second in the Todd Mills series and really not the best ....
Wow! This book is filled with convoluted relationships, unexpected baby (and grand baby), a cult, and all sorts of inter-connections with the past.
OK now that I've let the story settle a bit. I did skim the cult crazies parts a bit.
Also the ending needed to be 3 more hours of story time. There was a vital conversation that was about to happen which ... DIDN'T HAPPEN! I hope some of the resolution comes out in the next book, which I've already started. Obviously it didn't slow me down at all.

The entire series is a great. I wish there were more!
