Book Review: Should Please Old Fans and New Readers
Summary: 5 Stars

Adrien's thoughts in response to the other characters often differ from what he really says; otherwise, he would find himself in even more trouble! He is a sarcastic individual, but still lovable!

As with the first novel in this series, Adrien's passion for writing and for mystery books tie in with the plot. And homophobia again complicates that plot. When this murder investigation begins, he's in love with a closeted and obviously self-loathing cop, and surrounded by bigoted local law enforcement. Adrien's health problems make matters worse, along with the fact that he has been accused of murder before.

While I loved Fatal Shadows, I think Lanyon has matured even more as a writer. His prose breezes by, never allowing readers to slow down, but also making them not want to slow down. He describes scenes in intricate details when needed, without boring readers with unneeded details. Also, his knowledge of his genre works smoothly into Adrien's character, helping Adrien solve the mystery.

This novel should please fans of Fatal Shadows, while also winning Lanyon new readers!
