Final Atonement/Doug Orlando Mystery

Rating:
Summary: An Authentic New York Dectective Story
Review: All mysteries with gay characters should be this "real". The book's central character, Doug Orlando, struggles with integrating his life as a gay man and a dectective while solving a crime that seems taken from a New York Post headline. The book is fascinating for anyone who has an interest New York City as the situations and characters are written with an affection for the city as well as a clear-eye for the foibles of New Yorkers. Outside New York, the truth, honesty, and excitement of the story will hold readers wherever they live.Quality mysteries don't come around very often. Well written mysteries with a central character who is gay are rare indeed. Both of the Doug Orlando stories will be a wecome addition to any mystery reader's collection.
