4,5 stars!

Farewell, Mitch! Farewell, Boy!

For me-the best instalment in the series.

Differently melancholic? Maybe.

Nostalgically touching? Yes.

More serious than the previous books(IMO).

But as always funny.

And as always- VERY DIRTY.

And as always- EXTREMELY GOOD WRITTEN.

I don't need to recommend it to anyone.

You finished the second book and enjoyed it? You have probably already started to spare money for the next book or made debt to buy it. Because my only complaint- James Lear is not cheap!

Something odd happened while reading this last installment of the Mitch Mitchell Mystery series. This book had all the signature James Lear moves, including a bit of (view spoiler) and seducing an unsuspecting constable while urinating. The mystery, a suspicious suicide, had Mitch both stumped and emotionally raked over the coals. The emotion came from the fact that his secret paramour, Boy Morgan, was down at the station under question for most of the book.

The mystery, a suspicious suicide, had Mitch both stumped and emotionally raked over the coals. The emotion came from the fact that his secret paramour, Boy Morgan, was down at the station under question for most of the book. At wits end both emotionally and intellectually, Mitch employed a new contemplative technique that involved him getting thoroughly f*cked, to help him think through the case. Ok, that was not a totally new technique for Mitch, but being stumped was new.

So what was unusual about this? ** mild spoilers follow **

While these books are generally silly and OTT, you occasionally hear Mitch’s inner dialog and he does sometimes feel bad about the fact that he two-times his ostensible love Vince. He also questions Boy Morgan’s character, as Boy has a wife and children, but is also happy for some Mitch on the side. Generally Mitch’s libido gets the best of him, and this inner dialog is easily squashed. However, when he finds out that Boy has not only taken another male-lover on the side, but has become emotionally entangled, Mitch is quite taken aback. So when Boy is suspected in said lover’s death, Mitch beings to question if Boy is capable of such a thing. In the end, (view spoiler)
