About this listen
Loving Kim Jae-Min isn't always easy: Jae is gun-shy about being openly homosexual. Ex-cop turned private investigator Cole McGinnis doesn't know any other way to be. Still, he understands where Jae is coming from. Traditional Korean men aren't gay-at least not usually where people can see them.
But Cole can't spend too much time unraveling his boyfriend's issues. He has a job to do. When a singer named Scarlet asks him to help find Park Dae-Hoon, a gay Korean man who disappeared nearly two decades ago, Cole finds himself submerged in the tangled world of rich Korean families, where obligation and politics mean sacrificing happiness to preserve corporate empires. Soon the bodies start piling up without rhyme or reason. With every step Cole takes toward locating Park Dae-Hoon, another person meets their demise-and someone Cole loves could be next on the murderer's list.

Great series

The narration however deserves all the stars and more.
Greg Tremblay's interpretation of the story and its characters was so emotionally charged that I confess I teared up at several points during the story....in particular, the dinner with Cole's disgustingly bigoted parents where Mike gave the 'he's family, you're not any longer' speech and Claudia's confession from her hospital bed regarding her gay son and her treatment of him, so heartfelt. The voice he gives to each character, just brilliant and I wish all narrators were as good as he is at getting the most out of the story. I also loved the shout out to one of the creepiest Dr Who episodes, the 'Stone Angels'...DON'T BLINK!! A great series with superb characters whom I've taken to my heart, I love it and Dirty Laundry is next up.
Sooo many Korean names...

The narrative makes it special

The story was engaging, there were some emotional moments as well as some laugh out loud sections and Greg Tremblay's excellent narration really did the characters justice for me. The pacing of the non-dialogue parts came across as much more fluid and natural than in book one so all in all a very enjoyable listen.
I'm going to break from tradition and start listening to book three before I've read it; and I've got the rest of the series (& some of Rhys' other books) ready to go too.
Definitely recommend this if you like a bit of mystery, PIs, snarky boyfriends, bigots getting a slap down, spicy pepper and the ever amusing Bobby.
I am loving this series!
