Can I just say how glad I am that Micky Knight is back? Not very far in yet but already enjoying it.

It is not an easy read, heavy with memories of Hurricane Katrina. In addition, there are issues related to infidelity, drugs, haves and have nots.

So, with hesitancy, I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

This one seemed lacking. Maybe it was because Micky Knight, now sober and in a long-term relationship, had become too normal. Or maybe it was because the mystery revolved around a lot of gay men, the least interesting form of human for me. The mystery also required almost no action and a lot of talking. Yawn. Then Micky's personal life takes a significant, albeit almost unbelievable, hit and Hurricane Katrina arrives. Things do juice up nicely, but unfortunately Micky experiences most things fro

I'm a big Micky Knight fan, love all the books in the series, and on second reading I'd say "Death of a Dying Man" is the best . . . so far!
