Cargando... Death Goes Overboardpor David S. Pederson
Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  Lillian_Francis | Jul 26, 2021 |   Well worth a read. I hadn't read the first in the series. This didn't affect my enjoyment at all. Pros: Good sense of period. Interesting sparse style which fitted the story and the noir style. Cons: I figured out what had happened at the half way marker, about 40% before the narrator. For a crack detective he wasn't so hot. The will he/won't he marry a woman to divert attention made up a big part of Heath's thoughts for the first part of the book, but it then seemed to just get dropped. Heath and Alan have a lot of their 'private' conversations in public places. And Heath cries when Riker is shot. No wonder people speculate about his predilections. There was little to no passion between Heath and Alan (in fact the only scene where Heath seems tempted is with Riker). I had trouble believing in their relationship. Just one scene behind closed doors could have changed that. All in all I enjoyed this as a historical mystery with gay characters. I wasnt sold on the romance though. I am interested enough to buy the first book. (  ) Lillian_Francis | Feb 24, 2021 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Gregor Slavinsky went overboard. Or did he? He was murdered. Or was he? It's up to Detective Heath Barrington and his partner, police officer Alan Keyes, to find out as they search for clues and a missing twenty-five thousand dollars aboard an old lake steamer and throughout 1947 Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They are up against gangsters, con artists, and a very seductive Grant Riker, a fellow policeman who could come between Heath and Alan, upsetting their romance. The three of them race the clock to find the truth amidst lies, secrets, and possible scandal, while riding the waves of a potential love triangle. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
