False Confessions: A Doug Orlando Mystery (Onyx) por Steve Johnson
Second and last installment of the Doug Orlando mystery series. A catholic priest is found bludgeoned to death in his church and it's up to Orlando to figure out the crime. Numerous twists and turns to find out who did it and the other mystery of the serial killer of gay men.
A rabbi is killed with his orayer shawl. Detective Orlando must unravel the truth if the situation. Was it the brother out for revenge after the rabbit was selling priceless religious artifacts. The real estate magnet who was secretly buying up Williamsburg property. A disgruntled former employee. Or just a robbery gone bad?
This book is all about hate. Everyone in this book is full of hate except the protagonist and his lover (well, maybe not his mom). I like what he's doing, and the book is well written and tight, but it's hard to take. It's pretty extreme.
There is a lot of really interesting information about conservative Judaism, stuff I didn't know despite my degree. Very cool.
One part that bothered me: I don't think people would be quite as tolerant of a cop who was indicted for shooting a suspect in the back. I think hat happened to the MC makes sense but I think both would be ostracized, at the very least because other cops wouldn't want to be associated with someone like that.
This is not a romance, and no sex, not even explicit references, just a couple of places where he touches his lover's thigh to initiate something. But their relationship is beautiful and the one really nice thing in the book.
The fact he did it a second time, would not make him a hero. Even the asshole chief would balk.
Good mystery, recommended for anyone who likes mysteries and is comfortable with a gay protagonist.… (más)

A detective's life isn't easy when you aren't a corrupt cop ... and gay. This is what Doug Orlando has to find out the hard way, while he has to find the murderer of a Jewish rabbi and to deal with his partner who is preoccupied with his own work. Although the story isn't light of joyful, this is a fascinating read because it just seems to be real and honest.
