This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Josh has done it again: he’s gripped my attention from start to finish with great, memorable characters, given them a scary yet intriguing mystery to solve, in a creepy, atmospheric house in Vermont, inhabited by a motley assortment of equally creepy residents. But most of all, he’s created a convincing love story, with two people who start out as different from each other as can be, but who turn out to be a strangely well-matched couple. One of the pleasure of reading this book is following the ...more

I am quickly becoming a Josh Lanyon fangirl. Yes, his books have a formula – a big alpha male and a sick/disabled/weaker man who has great inner strength (usually with a mystery thrown in). Now I have loved mysteries since I was a kid and got my first Nancy Drew book and I still love to read mysteries. Josh’s books hit everything for me – slow building relationships, sexy men, and a good murder mystery – all rolled into one wonderfully written book.

The The Ghost Wore Yellow Socksis a great read ...more

The first time I heard this narrator and I think he did a really good job. I did have to up the speed though. As usual, it's another great mystery by Josh Lanyon. I can't get enough of them. ...more

Josh Lanyon's books are all the same. Ex-cop/ex-military/deep-closet seme and fragile, geeky uke who solve mysteries together and end up in various dangerous situation which include bed.

That's why it has 5 stars. It's like bad porn, when you fins something that people like, you keep repeating the same scene over and over. Unlike porn, these books are always pleasurable, make your heart warm and the stories that get solved are almost always interesting.

Another good one from Josh, but what else should I expect.

Loved Perry. He may be small and he has some problems but he knows what he wants and goes for it.

Nick is a sweetie but I knew he was a goner when he started getting all protective and possessive right from the start.

Good mystery but WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TREASURE? It was found but then nothing was said about where it was going or who was getting it. Or did I just miss that somehow?
