Review title: A homophobic mystery.
Product review: It is astonishing that a novel based entirely on stereotyped characters can be reviewed so frequently without any reference to that fact. This novel is based on a hateful view of gay men, explicitly describing them as angry not to be interested in women, and jealous of straight men for their relationships with women. The idea of the book -- chess integrated with the mystery -- is wonderful, but the execution poor. After all, unlike good mysteries, we never learn the one fact that explains the truth until the end of the book, so there is no opportunity for us to play along with the protagonist in attempting to solve the mystery. And, even though I enjoyed the read, the ultimate resolution is so hate-filled as to sour the rest of the book. Overall, exceedingly a poor novel.
