About this listen

Suffering from writer's block and frustrated with his tentative relationship with hot but closeted LAPD Homicide Detective Jake Riordan, gay bookseller and mystery writer Adrien English travels to northern California where he finds a body in his front drive. By the time the sheriffs arrive the body has disappeared, and Adrien once again finds himself playing amateur sleuth. But when the game turns deadly, Adrien turns to Jake. Jake may be confused about some things, but keeping his lover alive is not one of them - no matter what the cost.

A well written story with and interesting  concept.  The characters are likeable and the narration is very good.

Enjoyable Story

Adrien and Jake are one of my favourite couples and this series is a comfort read for me. The story was good with lots of twists and turns and I loved the way Jake was wrestling with himself and his sexuality and his growing attraction and affection for Adrien. The narration was good and helped bring the story to life.

I love Josh Lanyons audiobooks. The Adrien English ones superbly narated by Chris Patton. This is the second Adrien English story and I enjoyed it as much as book 1, Fatal Shadows.

Wonderful Story

I love Josh Lanyon's Adrien English novels and since getting into audio books have been buying the sudio versions of novels I've already read and enjoyed in pixels and print.
The narrator Chris Patton really brings the characters alive and they don't ring false in the way they're portrayed. The speed of the narration is good and Patton doesn't just 'read' the book - you get good, dramatic delivery and I found myself smiling at humorous parts in the same way I would when reading.
Always recommend these books/ this author and if audio's more your thing then I can definitely recommend this book.

Excellent rendition of the novel

Ok perhaps late to these books but jbook 2 was even better than book 1. Love the play between Adrien and Jake. Looking forward to book 3

Not bad story but loses points for the overly descriptive, and quite unnecessary sex scenes.

Entertaining enough
