![]() He's not your ordinary run of the mill murder mystery sleuth. Andrew Barriger, author of Finding FaithĪdrien English is different. If you're looking for a good mystery where there are gay characters but their sexual orientation isn't the focus of the book, then this is the story for you. I found the pace of the "reveal" to be very well timed and thoroughly enjoyed this book. A mystery solved too quickly means the author was sloppy with his clues, and a mystery with a surprise ending often means the author just tricked the reader. My all-time barometer for a mystery is whether I can solve it, but not too quickly. I may have been at a slight disadvantage by starting with the second Adrien English book, rather than the first, but the characters still seemed well developed and understandable. Even at critical moments, the story remains witty and entertaining. Josh Lanyon has a superb grasp of language and plays subtle word games throughout this first-person narrative. ![]() ![]() The story just takes off from there and never stops. He arrives to find a dead body in the middle of the driveway and no clue as to the cause. The story starts with the main character, a bookseller from LA, traveling to his grandmother's old ranch in the Sierra Nevadas. ![]() What a great read! Light and entertaining, yet riveting and suspenseful, I read "A Dangerous Thing" in just two nights. ![]()
