I chose this book because I was looking for a good gay mystery series and it sounded entertaining. Unfortunately,the plot and characters are extremely trite and one-dimensional. How tiresome it is to use gay characters for comic relief.Although it bills itself as funny, I didn't crack a smile or laugh once during the whole book. All in all, it was not very well written and I do NOT look forward to his future work. I was left counting the pages until the ending.
