Scott is a go go boy/personal trainer in New Orleans. He comes home one night for find one of his friends dead at the gateway to his apartment. Also a former client mysteriously shows up at the bar he's dancing in after disappearing a year before. Scott also hooks up with another dancer who's secretly a cat burglar. There's also a hot leather daddy with a scar on his cheek who says he's FBI. Fast and intriguing read dor the first in the series. ( ) What a wild ride! Picture a personal trainer and exotic dancer involuntarily turned detective because a client of his is murdered, an old friend asks for help, and there are suddenly weird goings-on all around him. Well, more weird than usual. All of this is set in the somewhat sleazier part of New Orleans during Pride celebrations. See where this is going? This story had me at "Dick Dansoir", which is the main character's professional name when he dances. Okay, so he does a little more than that, but you get the picture. His real name is Scotty and he may be twenty-nine, but he is not serious about leading an "orderly" life, in fact, he does his best to avoid it. With his parents being hippies and his lesbian aunt and her partner living in the same building, his chances of a "non-normal" life remain good. The story is full of details of his exciting escapades that include somewhat illegal substances, lots of partying and drinking, and maintaining a super hot physique. The mystery is good, what with a secret computer disk - yes, this feels like a "historical" novel but it's set in 2003, mysterious murders and a "hottie" FBI agent on Scotty's tail. What I likes most was Scotty's slowly revealed psychic powers, which he uses to good effect when solving the mystery of the evil villain's plans. All in all, this is a mystery with heart and a distinctly gay flavor. I loved every minute of it. Scotty is the narrator, and he became my tour guide into a fascinating world of New Orleans, the more interesting parts of town, and a villain's plan for the city that was as unusual as it was scary. I look forward to Scotty's next adventure! If you like mysteries with more than a hint of psychic powers - and forget any official police procedures, if you prefer some humor in your stories and a main character who doesn't take himself too seriously, and if you don't mind more than one hot romp between the sheets as he story progresses, then you will probably like this novel. Not the best mystery ever - Main character was too narcissistic for my taste - the action even when life-threatening never achieved the tension those scenes need - I will keep reading as I have two other books in this series already - and I liked it - just didn't love it - but I am not compelled to read the other books with any urgency so it might be awhile before I get back to this series. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
