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

Josh Lanyon never disappoints a reader. I bought it partly because I've always liked Josh's writing and partly because the title is irresistable.

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. And then, to feel hopelessly attracted to the cool, hands
