This was a fun adventure, mystery book with some quirky characters. Jefferson is a trouble magnet and is at a crossroads in his life.

I think this is one of my favorite of Josh Lanyon's books. The mystery is suspenseful and quirky and the supporting characters are fascinating. I understood and sympathized with both Jefferson and George, even when they were in opposition.

My only caveat to recommending this book is that it's not your typical M/M romance with a HEA ending. The ending is hopeful, and it was satisfying to me, but I know some readers prefer much more unequivocal happy endings, so be aware that (IMO) this isn't one.

I did not really care for the protagonist of this book. He was kind of a selfish jerk. And the plot was a bit improbable.
