It's not an mm book more a crime novel that happens to have a gay MC in it and the murder took place at a gay bar. There is no romance at all in this book.
I quite liked it, it feels a bit old fashioned. The reporter has no phone (land line!). I can't imagine anyone in a professional capacity without a phone these days. But it adds a charm to this book.
So the solving of this crime is through old fashioned leg work and no fancy crime scene techno stuff. I'll watch CSI for that.
