Summary: Orland lands another winner (Reprinted Harriet Klausner revi
Review: Most observers feel it is odd for gay cross dresser Doan and blue-blooded Binky van deKemp to be friends. Yet the two individuals from different spheres are amigos who also co-own a San Francisco detective agency. Dean loves entertainment editor Tim O'Neal and likewise Binky loves Luke, a police officer. Gay billionaire Andrew Weatherall offers their significant others jobs in New York.

Weatherall also finds a position for Binky that uses her experience in spending money. Dean agrees to relocate with them because he sees the opportunities for the three most important people in his life. As soon as they start their new jobs, the trio finds themselves caught in a battle between the left leaning Weatherall and his right wing rival Herbert Kildaire. However, someone kills Kildaire in Binky's office and the police arrest Weatherall for the crime. Binky and Doan turn detective to prove their new boss is innocent.

The return of Doan and Binky is always a pleasure as the duo is a strange, believable, and endearing pair. The change of locale freshens up the series even as the fascinating who-done-it is filled with viable suspects and a weird ending that initially seems convoluted, but makes sense on a second look. Orland Outland lands a winner in his latest book that utilizes his dry wit inside an entertaining mystery.

Summary: Funny If You Know Nothing... Funnier If You Know Something
Review: This whole series is very amusing. If you keep your eyes open to the real world, you may notice a little satire here and there. If not, well... it's still pretty funny.
