4 of 5 stars
bookshelves: murder-mystery, suspense
Read in March, 2012

This is a MYSTERY, SUSPENSE. DSP actually has it labelled as that, it has a slight romance between Harry and Sean and is from several characters POV which adds depth to the Mystery and Suspense.

A brilliant story that draws you in and keeps you reading till the end.

Just because it is M/M doesn't make it a romance, this is a mystery,suspense with romance thrown in.

Nemesis I'm one of the readers who believe the same as you, that m/m doesn't equal romance. But following some bestsellers of Dreamspinner which are really m/m romances, not even there it's specified or tagged as romance. So probably it's fair to expect a romance from a publisher who declare themselves as Publishers of Quality M/M Romance Novels, Novellas, Short Stories, and Anthologies.
I have no problem with not being a romance, but I guess DSP, and publishers in general, especially those dealing with m/m books, should tag better their titles.

Sharon I agree but the main problem is that most publishers ect always class M/M as romance because for some reason having gay characters who fall in love always automatically puts it in the romance genre even though it could in fact be a sci-fi or mystery or murder or horror ect. They do this as most people would refuse to class it as mainstream even though if the characters were m/f they would.
