I just love this series. Kit is just like me except I'm not a man, gay, or a writer but other than that ... :D Well, I can identify closely with a lot of his anxieties and issues so the story resonates well with me. Also, I love the humor and the snarky wit of Kit. My only quibble -- if it is necessary to do so under the pretense of some objectivity -- is that JX is a bit too perfect and his characterization not as nuanced as Kit, but really I don't care because I loved this book too much.

3.5 stars
Kit and J.X. are even better in this installment. The mystery, as usual, kept me guessing all the way through. The secondary characters were okay, some a bit more interesting than others, but Kit, J.X. and Anna stole the show. (Even though I hated Anna from the beginning.)

“Kit, you're forty. You look thirty. You act...well, never mind. You're carrying on like you think you're seventy”

These mysteries are quickly becoming like comfort food to me--easy on the soul--I didn't figure out the mystery until late in the book-- ...more

Josh Lanyon has a masterful hand when it comes to scene and setting, making you feel like you're a part of the book rather than just reading it. I'm also a big fan of Kit Holmes and his funny, sometimes self deprecating, internal dialogue.

Though I'm usually a fan of more elemental or primal kink, I really enjoy this author's intellectual reads. ...more

The second outing of Holmes and Moriarity was very entertaining.
I love Kits voice and the way he sees things. He makes me laugh!
J.X. is very sweet and they make a lovely couple.
