Ice Blues : A Donald Strachey Mystery

Summary: ICE, ICE, BABY....
Review: Albany's only gay P.I. takes on that city's political machine when he finds a murdered man planted in his car.

Smooth and funny, but with a definite kick, the third Strachey mystery never fails to entertain although the plot leans more toward the zany than suspenseful. As with fine scotch, you can soak up this book in one sitting and be giggling outloud before you know it.

The relationship between Strachey and his lover Timmy is featured more prominently here than in any of the other six novels, making this one of my favorites. The Timmy and Donald partnership is (for my money) the most intelligent, believable and entertaining in gay mysterydom. In almost any mysterydom, for that matter. By book three I feel I know these two, and I like them very much. Enough to keep coming back for more
