Excellent fast paced mystery that borders on Suspense at times. Brown has made a far move from her earlier books which some term Erotica which bordered on porn [I figured that the difference between porn and erotica is erotica tends to have a bit more plot.] She lost the detailed sex descriptions which didn't move the plot but was there for the who love to say "I'm not into porn but I do love erotica" Now don't get me wrong, Erotica has its place but label the book Erotica or Porn and don't try to claim it's a Romance or Mystery. It's there for one thing and one thing only no matter how you cloak it.

That being said, the mystery is a mystery. It looks deeper into Dave's past and current life and examines attitudes and convictions about homosexuality at the same time. It also made sure I didn't want to visit Bermuda at any time soon. The mystery is fast paced and moves along nicely from LA to the East Coast and Dave's mother to the Island and Dave's Father.

Brown continues to progress nicely as a writer and no longer relies on writing sex scenes to create a book. Well worth the read and a keeper for your Gay Mystery shelf. ( )
