There are already so many reviews, so I think it's unnecessary to add a long review. It's an amazing book? yeah, it's a Josh Lanyon story... this is equal quality of writing and perfect timing, because yes, it's a mystery, but also a very sweet and unexpected romance.
I think that's why I love this story so much... I must admit I was hoping it would be also a romance, but complete forgot about it, trying to discover with the main characters what the hell is happening, and why dead bodies were in ...more

It's bad enough to be, like Perry, a young man who's painfully shy, bad enough to have just had a hopeful new relationship end up going nowhere, but to find a stranger--a dead one, yet, badly dressed and wearing yellow socks--in your bedroom in a remote Vermont boarding house does not bode well.

Another delightful Lanyon who always delivers with complex characters and good plots.
