Summary: Another Zubro success
Review: I strongly recommend this book as well as any other Tom and Scott mystery. Mark Richard Zubro always weaves a web of mystery that will keep you guessing right up until the end. And you would be hard pressed to find a more perfect example of gay heros.

Summary: complex mystery
Review: It's the social event of the year as famous professional baseball pitcher Scott Carpenter marries his long time lover, high school teacher Tom Mason. The social, financial and political hotshots are in attendance at this glorious extravaganza. The ceremony goes off without a hitch but the reception comes to an abrupt halt when Tom finds the murdered body of his ex-lover in the bathroom.

Although Tom did not invite him, he is a friend of Tom's family and his mother sent the invitation. Tom is not a suspect because Scott's runaway nephew can provide an alibi for him but when the police question him he disappears. It turns out that the victim was into making and when those connected with the business turn up missing or dead, Tom decides to do some sleuthing as only he can.

Tom makes an adorable sleuth and it's fun watching Scott reign him in before he aggravates the authorities too much. This is a character driver story and readers will find out more than they wanted to know about the pornography business. The mystery itself is so complex that readers won't have a clue who done it until the author chooses to reveal it.

Summary: A REALLY GREAT BOOK
Review: This book is a story of two brave gay men uniting in love and life. Unfortunately, many people are still intolerant of the rights of others who do not behave as they think people should and will cause trouble for them any way they can.

I love the books that I have read by Mark R. Zubro. Anything he writes is entertaining, interesting, and a GREAT READ!

Summary: Should have stayed in left field
Review: This was the first Mark Richard Zubro book I've read, and to be honest, I can't think of a worse way to spend four hours reading this very shallow mystery. The charcters are plastic and the story is weak. I had to remind myself to turn the page, it was so non-complelling. While the bookjacket played up the coming out of a baseball player, the book had nothing to do with it. Ultimately, this was a simple story with a few simple pleasures but ended simply out of left field.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth reading
Review: Unfamiliar with the author, I bought the book based on my reading of the dust jacket. What an interesting premise--two prominent gay men discover a murder at their wedding reception. The story went downhill from there, however, with so many red herrings flying around than I thought I was watching a rerun of the Muppet Show with the fish boomerang guy. Neither Tom nor Scott were well drawn characters, although I recognize that these are serial characters whose attributes are revealed throughout the series, and the killer's motivation, when revealed, made me simply set down the book and say, "Ewwwwww!"

Nonetheless, Here Comes the Corpse is worth reading for a pleasant diversion. For those, like me, who enjoy reading purely for entertainment's sake, this book will make an excellent diversion.
