Josh Lanyon, as always, delivers. That's what I have grown to expect of his books and that's what he does with this.
The clash of an effeminate and a manly homosexual man during the roaring twenties, a background quite meticulously researched and a gentle ghost story--all perfectly meshed into this wonderful tale.

A really entertaining story like all Josh Lanyon's other mystery/suspense romance novels. It has the subtle hints of romance between the 2 MC's when they first meet and as always a great murder mystery case.
