Some things are better left hidden. Tom Paretski's not just a plumber with a dodgy hip courtesy of a schoolboy accident. He also has a sixth sense for finding hidden things. Called in by the police to help locate a body near Brock's Hollow, he's staggered to encounter Phil Morrison, his old school crush - and the closeted bully whose actions contributed to Tom's accident. Phil's all grown up now, and Tom's unwilling attraction to him is back with a vengeance. Phil's now openly gay - and what's more, he's interested in Tom's personal charms as well as his psychic talents. As a private investigator called in by the dead woman's parents, Phil is sceptical about Tom's unusual gift, but nevertheless quick to spot its potential to aid him in his work. The further they go with the investigation, the less they can ignore their shared past, and the more the pressure and the heat build between them. But Tom isn't certain he wants to know the secrets he's helping to uncover, while there's a murderer on the loose who won't hesitate to kill again - and this uneasy couple is moving right into his sights. NOTE: This is lightly edited reprint of a previously published novel.… (meer)

This novel is very British, which is its own sort of fun, and an entertaining metaphysical/gumshoe murder mystery/romance.

When I started reading it, it was meant as a relief from other, heavier novels I'm reading, a chapter here and there. But then I couldn't stop reading until the end. And I loved the end, and I love that there are more books already out, because they're going on my list. Bits of Tom's inner dialogue were formulaic, but I forgave it. We all have those. Other than that, I can't think of anything to warn you about. This is really good, with fleshed-out characters and a well-constructed whodunit plot. ( )

What a funny little (literally) gay plumber this Tom Paretski is. And he even turns out to be the main hero in a detective story because he is somebody who is able to sense hidden things, well, like a corpse in the bushes for example. Just before he finds a missing lady, he – once again literally – stumbles across a private detective, Phil Morrison, who once was part of a school gang that bullied Tom for being gay and chased him. That lead to a car accident that gave Tom a limp. While all these old painful feelings come up again, it turns out that the PI has come out of the closet himself. And despite their troubled past (or thanks to it) some chemistry is evolving between the two men who start of to search for the killer of the young woman.
Funny, witty and sexy. Just a great read for a nice weekend on the couch, in bath, outside in the sun or in bed. Enjoy it, just like I did. I definitely need more of books like that. Any recommendations?! ( )

To the members of Verulam Writers' Circle, for all their constructive criticism, good-natured ribbing and general encouragement over a drink or two--cheers! And, as always, with thanks to my wonderful friends Jo and Pen. You know I couldn't do it without you.
