Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
A relaxing trip to a Palm Springs resort turns deadly for Mason Adler and his friend Walter Wingate when first one of their fellow guests, then another, ends up murdered. Suspects and motives abound among the remaining guests as well as the owner of the Oasis resort, Marvin Gagliardi, an old friend of Walter's. Mason investigates, hoping to prove Marvin's innocence, but the more he uncovers, the more he wonders if Marvin actually might be the murderer. Distracting Mason is the handsome and eligible police detective assigned to the case, Brian Branchford. Mason had vowed not to become interested in anyone living a five-hour drive from Phoenix, but Branchford's green eyes, gray hair, and toothbrush moustache are compelling reasons to give it a try. It's up to Mason to uncover the truth about the deaths at the Oasis, and to discover if there's romance as well as murder at the Oasis. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It's 1946 in the American Southwest and some things are very different than today. Mason Adler is a gay private investigator who recently turned fifty and is a basic nice guy with no illusions. His old friend Walter is a flamboyant gay decorator, self-entitled egoist, and a veritable caricature of a type.
But the investigation into the murders is well done and also a look into the problems of the accused in a homophobic society. A fun read with notable historical education.
It also gives a hard look at what growing up LGBT+ was like in the 20th century.
