Soho Noir #3
Careless Whisper
LOOSE LIPS COST LIVES.
It’s 1986, and Adam Cave, lead singer of the pop sensation Loose Lips, is struggling to stay in the closet, especially as his group is going through a messy split, and media speculation about the reasons behind it are high.
Joe Stone is assigned to Adam as a runner for the behind-the-scenes, warts and all expose of the recording of the bands last album, and an unlikely friendship begins to form.
But when Adam’s manager, Jack Eddy, is found dead in Adam’s hotel room, in what looks like a sex game gone wrong, Joe turns to his flatmate, Russell, to help him clear the pop star’s name, and keep his secret.
Russell, meanwhile, has a secret of his own. He’s just been for a test, the results of which may change his life forever.

I was lucky enough to be on the blog tour for T.S Hunter’s latest release in the Soho Noir series. So far, I’ve really enjoyed travelling into the world of Soho London in the 1980s. This particular story follows the lead singer of a band, who is struggling to open up about his sexuality. If he does, then the rest of his band members may not support him. When the worst does happen, Joe Stone (the overall series main character) is there to try and pick up the pieces, until the band’s manager Jack Eddy is found dead. The lead singer Adam is immediately charged with the crime, just because Jack’s body was found in his hotel room. Joe and flatmate Russell know he’s innocent and set out to find the real killer.
This one was also powerful as Russell really opens up about his health. This isn’t easy for anyone to do, so being able to feel his emotions made the story stronger. A fast-paced read that didn’t disappoint. I look forward to checking out the rest of the series as they keep being released throughout the rest of 2019!

Oh my days, I love this series, not just for the awesome covers, the 80s nostalgia but for Joe and Russell. These men are the best unofficial crime-fighting duo. Somehow, just somehow they seem to find themselves in the middle of mayhem, with a murder to solve. This time, everything Careless Whisper just hit home to how it truly was for the gay community in the 80s.
I am not even going to pretend to understand what it must have been like but in this novella, you get a glimpse of the fears of HIV with the testing and the waiting and the results. How these results would change your life and how the result affected other people. Certain bits in this snappy story broke my heart, I was waiting, holding my breath living the fear with them and at the end, I may have had something in my eye due to the release of emotion from the subplot.
However, the main story is Adam Cave, the lead singer of a band called Loose Lips. Struggling to come to terms with who he really is, what he is doing in such a destructive band and how to move on when a ruthless murder happens in his hotel room and he is arrested. Arrested by everyone’s favourite (to hate) Detective Skinner -urgh!
With every novella, I have not played detective, mainly because I couldn’t guess straight away who the murderers have been. Instead, I sat back, put my feet and watched Joe and Russell follow the clues, occasionally telling them what I thought and where to go next but they are always ahead of me. I love watching the two of them go their separate ways to solve the murder and reconvening at the Red lion in the seat by the window also known as their office. Building on everything they have learned and always just trying to help their friends and the community. I have to also say I loved the introduction to Gillespie and really hope he is back in the next one.
Talking of which! I need to read the next one! I have blasted these books in the last week and now I feel quite bereft. I have no more Joe and Russell to read and not quite sure what to do now, bar twiddling my thumbs waiting for Crazy for you!!
As I have mentioned before the book covers are the absolute best and so poignant! The titles too, spot on, I always love when the titles make sense in the book and when the covers do, I feel complete! Careless Whisper, for me, is quite a sad tale when you think back on the story, it’s a bit like Chinese whispers, the misinterpretation of what you think you know with what you do know can ultimately be someone’s downfall. The death was so unnecessary and so sad and all due to the offending party not having all the facts.
Yet, there are some moments that did make me chuckle, and like normal they include Paul aka Patty and his new partner in crime Scott, Ron’s son! Through the darkness of secrets and lies, you have the light relief, you have the strength of the community and you have the love of people who make their own family.
I can gush all day about these novellas, I truly could. Again, Hunter has not let me down with his writing, no words or pages are fluffy or wasted, it is just flawless. His writing is taut and you find you do fly through the book at breakneck speed to find the truth. I tried to savour every word as I did not want it to end!
Please just go back, relive your youth and buy these novellas! Plus they are just so pretty!

Careless Whisper is the third Soho Noir novella, after Tainted Love and Who’s That Girl and believe me when I tell you it’s the best one yet! Mart (whose review will be up on The Beardy Book Blogger tomorrow) and I have agreed that it’s a doozy and you should definitely buy it, just saying 😁
I had been having a week from hell, I had major fatigue, but the week ended on a high note when I found Careless Whisper waiting for me when I came home on the Friday. I was so happy I even did the unthinkable and dropped my current read like a rock in favour of this gorgeous yellow novella *gasp* You may do this all the time, but I NEVER do, when I commit, I commit until the end of the book so this is a bloody big deal! Needless to say, I had many expectations and they were all sky-high, but Careless Whisper managed to exceed them all!
Like I told you when I talked about Who’s That Girl, the very best thing about reading a series, is being reunited with the main characters in each new instalment. This series is meant to be finished at the end of the year and I really don’t know what I’ll do with myself! I love Joe and Russell like they’re actual friends and I was so happy to catch up with them once again. Although, at the start of Careless Whisper, my man Russell isn’t quite living his best life: he’s having himself tested for HIV and obviously he’s anxious about having to wait for the results. By making HIV part of the plot, through Russell and another character, T.S. Hunter subtly but effectively draws the attention to the devastating disease that wreaked havoc in the previous century. It doesn’t turn into a sob story, Toby doesn’t work that way, he doesn’t shy away from emotions but he doesn’t milk them for all they’re worth either. Still, Careless Whisper is a stark reminder of the fact that HIV was equal to a death sentence at the time. It’s not like it’s a simple stomach bug now either, obviously, but now we know what we’re dealing with and there are lots of different kinds of medicine and suppressing drugs and what not, and it’s become much more manageable, not the automatic death sentence that it used to be, and it’s a good thing to stop and think about all that for a little while, which is exactly what Careless Whisper made me do.
However, if to stop and think about HIV is not what you want to do in your spare time, I completely understand and it’s no problem at all! You can gloss over it, and focus on the crime element of Careless Whisper, which is of course the main part of the plot, and what an enticing part it is! We reunite with Joe who has just got his first big(ish?) break: he is working as a runner for a TV show, documenting Loose Lips, a hugely popular 80s boy band. Loose Lips’ lead singer is gay and has to hide it because the hordes of girls fawning over him won’t appreciate that little fact. He’s getting tired of that closet though, and he’s also getting tired of the band’s poppy songs and peppy choreographies. And then Loose Lips’ manager is found dead… Once again, it’s Joe and Russell to the rescue, because it sure won’t be our narrow-minded, bigoted detective Skinner who will solve this case! A lot of red herrings threw me off the scent and the finale caught me by surprise, although it was in fact my first hunch that turned out to be true but I had completely given up on that theory, because I thought I’d had it wrong. If you read the book, you’ll understand why. Come to think of it, that is exactly what I want you to do: read this book! If you liked the previous Soho Noir novellas, you’ll adore this one! While Tainted Love and Who’s That Girl were solid four-star reads for me, Careless Whisper blew me away. It’s engrossing from start to finish, and fun and suspenseful and positively satisfying in every way! I cannot wait for the next instalment to be reunited with my lovely friends once again AND to gloat at the comeuppance I see on the horizon!

#3 In The Soho Noir series….Don’t you just love the cover?
Set in Soho, London in 1986, a time of crimped hair, Marathon bars and the Bangles….
Joe has said goodbye to his boyfriend, the gorgeous Luc, because he didn’t want to settle down yet…he’s not the ‘pop loving club-bunny’ that Luc called him but neither is he ready for pipe and slippers, so they part.
Joe is a runner now, working for PJ as he is working on an expose of life in the band, Loose Lips….Adam Cave, the lead singer and he has a secret….he’s gay..his manager Jack feels it should be kept from Adam’s adoring teenage girl fans…his band mates, the twins think the same…
But then Jack is found dead, Adam is arrested for murder…..and Joe and Russell begin the investigation….will they find the truth?
A wonderful, cosy crime mystery all set in the 80’s, with its music, fashion, homophobia and the affect AIDS had on so many people…brilliant characters and so atmospheric……I can’t wait to read more of Joe, Russell and the fabulous Patty.
Thank you to RedDog Press for a copy of the ebook. This is my honest and unbiased review.

Ah 1986! It was a great year ... and despite the titular Wham homage, Madonna references abounded throughout, plus one (only one? - puhlease!) Stock, Aitken & Waterman callout hoo-ah. Joe and Russell are back and investigating a hotel room death which looked like sex-play gone terribly wrong.
On the personal front, Joe has dumped hottie Luc! And I'm a little confused as to why Russell has trekked himself to the clinic for a HIV test. And although the specter of AIDS loom large in the public eye, this was kept mostly as ominous background without dragging down the whodunnit plot. A new character is introduced as a potential love interest - but for which of our MCs?
The biggest thing I've taken away from this enjoyable 3.5 star read, is a reference to the 501 laundry ad featuring Nick Kamen ... memories of which sent me to Youtube to relive the visual experience all over again LOL!

Review Taken from The Pewter Wolf
*** eProof given by publisher in exchange for honest review/reaction***
The third instalment in the Soho Noir series (I have the first and second on my kindle and hoping to read them over the last of summer) takes readers to 1986 Soho, London where lead singer of the popular boy band, Loose Lips, is struggling to stay in the closet while the band is going through a messy breakup.
TV Runner, Joe Stone, is assigned to Adam during a behind-the-scene, warts and all expose of the group recording their final album.
But when the band's manager, Jack Eddy is found dead in Adam's hotel room, the Police instantly think it was a sex game gone wrong and Adam is the primary suspect. But Joe doesn't think so, and turns to his former policeman and flatmate, Russell to help clear Adam's name.
As the two investigate what could have happened, Russell is waiting. Waiting for some test results, which could change his life...
Well, I had a blast reading this over the course of one summer weekend!
This is a fast paced read with several good twists and characters who aren't always what they seem to be. I could have very easily devour this and the previous books in one day as I enjoyed spending time with both Joe and Russell, as well as the new characters being introduced, which I think are going to become more important as the series goes on.
Like I said, this is the third novella in the series (apparently, each cover colour is going to be a colour from the Pride flag), and while the previous cases were reference, it didn't effect the fun I had while reading this. I do wish this was a little longer as I did enjoy my time with Joe and Russell. But good thing I have the previous two instalment to keep myself busy and with the wonderful mix of LGBT+ characters and 80s music, I can't wait to return to this series, in the next few weeks!

Joe Stone and Russell Dixon—friends, flat mates, and partners in the sleuthing business—are back and as clever as ever in this third book in the Soho Noir Mystery series, Careless Whisper, and they have only grown more endearing as author T.S. Hunter has given them the opportunity to evolve into true champions of justice for the victims the police—one homophobic detective in particular—are uninterested in treating with equal integrity. Joe and Russell are great MCs, and they carry the series on their capable shoulders while charming readers along with them as they parse through the clues to solve each case in the way only they seem able to do.
As he’s done all along, Hunter invokes the sense of time and place with the casual mention of music—thus the novella titles—as well as clothing and the social climate of the time for the LGBT+ community. In fact, the murder mystery this time around takes place within the music biz itself, circa 1986, when the fear of being outed was real and could derail a career. The topic of HIV/AIDS hits close to home as well, and the emotional impact of it is what makes this particular chapter within the whole of the series resonate a bit more profoundly as it figures into the storyline.
T.S. Hunter has offered up yet another satisfying installment in this cozy mystery series, and if I were forced to choose a favorite so far, Careless Whisper would be it. Relationships for both Joe and Russell are dealt with as secondary to the mysteries, but they are presented with just the right attention to be meaningful. These books are single sitting reads, perfect for a weekend afternoon of murder mystery that recalls the not-too-distant past and are solved in short order by a couple of good guys.

T.S. Hunter has done it again with another great installment in the Soho Noir series! When I saw the cover reveal for Careless Whisper during the Who’s That Girl? blog tour, I was immediately pulled in by the vibrant color and design and I just knew the writing would go along perfectly with it. Special thank you to Dylan at Red Dog Press for my ebook copy!
As soon as I opened this book, I was once again transported back to 80s London with Joe and Russell, both of whom feel like old friends. Though I’ve never been to London myself (or anywhere in the 80s for that matter), I’ve never had trouble connecting with these two and following along in their world. I just hope we get to see more of the drag shows at the Red Lion in the next book – Paul and Scott are some of my favorite secondary characters so of course I’d love to see more of Patty and Miss Terri!
T.S. Hunter’s delicate and sensitive handling of Russell’s HIV testing is another testament to Hunter’s writing. Though I was born after the HIV crisis, the tense moments with Russell at the clinic and his anxiety in the days to come really pulled me into what was a near-daily experience in 80s Soho. Despite all the flair and fun of drag shows, clubs, and bars, the threat of HIV was an insidious undercurrent throughout Soho nightlife. These cozy crime novels don’t necessarily focus on this crisis, but Hunter’s ability to weave it into the story makes Joe and Russell’s on-page lives seem that much more real.
I will end my review here to avoid spoilers, but trust me – you’ll want to pick up Careless Whisper, even if you haven’t read the other Soho Noir novels. But really, you should get the others, too! They’re a great read and I have full confidence that the rest of the series will be just as enjoyable.

Another great book in the series, intrigue and secrets keep you waiting to see what comes next and the ending isn't really something predictable, which is a huge plus.

Set in the 80s in Soho, Joe is a runner for a TV company who becomes close to Adam Cave, frontman of the band, Loose Lips.
With Adam struggling to conceal his sexuality, Joe becomes close, but when an incident strikes, involving the band's manager, with all fingers firmly pointing at Adam being the guilty party, Joe asks his friend Russell to investigate
Unbeknown to Joe, Russell is struggling with own personal issues, that he wishes to keep concealed from Joe however so he picks up the case.
Careless Whisper is a wonderful Novella, I read it in a few hours and enjoyed every minute,
It’s a quick, fast paced little read, it’s a cracker of mystery of that tells a story of the 80s, the music and the culture, the LGBT scene, and also touches on a very serious subject matter.
I was completely drawn in by Joe and Russell, they make a great team, and also the events in the book that bring them closer as truly great friends is touching, emotional and quite brilliantly done.
The writing is both easy and inviting, and it’s a clever, classically told tale.
This is the first I’ve read in the series though the lovely Dylan at Red Dog has kindly gifted me the 3 novellas, so I’ll be diving back into the first 2 very soon. I’m looking forward to further parts in the series I believe to come this year 😃
T.S. Hunter has a new fan!
