Negative Positive
Title: sort of a mediocre mystery / soap opera
Review: Boy, what a disappointment. I was expecting a cool, L.A.-based mystery novel that would be rich in atmosphere and suspense. But what I got was a half-cooked mystery with much, MUCH TOO MUCH, personal love details about the main character (a gay insurance investigator). It all became jumbled, tawdry, and almost comical in a bad way. This book simply didn't work for me on any level.Bottom line: what should have been a slick mystery turned out to be a quasi-homoerotic mess. Not recommended.
