Summary: Has time stood still?
Review: Wonderful picture of the . com entrepeneur. Victims who have made themselves the perfect 'victimn' for a murder. Lots of blood and tricky detection but... what I really like about the Paul Turner mysteries is the scenes of his homelife. There is always something new but not in this book. somehow noone seems to have changed at all. I was mildly disappointed about that.

Summary: Fast Paced & Tense to Say the Least!
Review: Zubro's mysteries are never disappointing, and this one certainly is one of his best. I couldn't rip through the pages fast enough. Although I felt some of the weak jokes and forced banter that went on between Detectives Buck Fenwick and Paul Turner went on too long and became tiring after a while. However, that's my only complaint. The story is very interesting, exciting and fast paced.Detectives Paul Turner and Buck Fenwick are assigned the murder case of Craig Lenzati and Brooks Werberg, two software geniuses and business partners who both have been stabbed to death within the last 24 hours. Craig happens to be straight and Brooks is a gay man. As the detectives soon find out both of these victims have been playing sex games with many people and keeping score of their many conquests. The people they have been sexually abusing and blackmailing are very angry and anyone of them could be the potential murderer. At the same time that the detectives are trying to solve the computer nerds murders someone is also killing cops while traveling across the country. Chicago is next on the list. Could the two cases be related? Could it be the same killer. In both the cop killings and the software executives murders the victims have been urinated on, and stabbed to death many times with a large jagged knife. Perhaps even Turner & Fenwick will be the next victims?
There's a lot of mystery here, and the story moves along at quite a fast pace. It's a book you can't put down. I have read all of Mark Zubro's books and I truly enjoyed this one. It's a nice way to spend an enjoyable evening and an excellent diversion. Highly recommended.

Summary: Not a bad effort by Zubro
Review: [....] If you've read other books in this series, you'll like this one. If this is your first outing with Detective Paul Turner and his police partner Buck; you should head back to the first in the series. This book stands up fairly well on its own, but it's much better if you've followed the characters. Their development is a bit more apparent if you see where they've come from. The scenes of Turner's home life with his lover Ben and two sons seems a bit out of focus; as though Mr. Zubro has no reference point for a gay man's life at home. Why only 3 stars? Because too much was wrapped up in the final few pages without a great deal of set-up or follow-through. None of the clues along the way would lead you to any of the solution. It seemed rushed and forced.
