I am biased, I have loved everything I have read by Josh Lanyon. I am a reader, not a writer, so my reviews may not be the most articulate, but hopefully my admiration for this authors ability to capture with style and wit, all the nuances of a relationship, while still providing a good mystery, comes through. I am steadily making my way through his catalog and have not been disappointed by anything I have read.

I liked this book. It is teetering between 3.4 and 4 star and finally fell to four because even with all the things going on I still inexplicably really liked it.

Swift is a recovering addict turned college professor in small town Maine and his lover is Max the chief of police. A man in town is murdered and his son, one of Tad's students, is the prime suspect.

I'm not surprised to have another Josh Lanyon title land on my favorites shelf. This was a great little mystery and a wonderful romance. I'd love to see this turn into a series or at least have a follow up because the end had me going, "That's it?!" Great read, left me wanting more. ...more

Mr. Lanyon has done it again.

I'm not even surprised anymore at how much I love his stories. I absolutely worship the pen he writes with.

Shelves: mystery, lgbtq-romance, 2013-vacation-stash

Gorgeous, evocative, intriguing, witty, and wry -- all the things readers expect of Josh Lanyon are here in Swift & Max's relationship and the small-town murder intrigue. Could not put it down; finished it in less than a day. Definitely going on my keeper shelf and will re-read at will.
