Rating: Summary: So fast paced it leaves you panting & begging for more! Review: This is the first of the Todd Mills mysteries and it does a good job of establishing the main characters while keeping the plot tight and racing.Todd, a star reporter at the local T.V. station, is unexpectedly outed when his lover of 4 years is killed. (Within the first 20 pages!) Todd's life crumbles around him and we get to help him pick up the pieces. There is no room for fluffy character study in this tight narrative style. We only grow to love Todd and begin to care for the yummy detective Rawlins who is assigned to his case. The lack of character development could be offputting to some, but I can see the need for keeping the story focused. After the funeral of Todd's lover the story picks up speed and drives for the finish. Our hero unmasks the killer in a terrific blazing finale. (Literally!) This is definately a MUST READ!
Rating: Summary: Lead character is best part. Review: Todd Mills is a closeted television news reporter suddenly outed involuntarily. His struggle to cope amid the chaos is the best part of this book. The mystery itself is a bit disappointing, but the characters are well written and Todd's journey is worth sharing.
