5.0
I really enjoyed this book. Mr. Grey always provides a good story. Dex and Les both have issues. A lot of them. Both of them need to come to grips with what has happened in their lives, and what they’re going to do in the future. For Dex, it’s the sudden death of his mother along with the death of his dreams – he’s a failed LA actor. But his mom left him a building, the bottom level of which is a bookstore. Can he make a go of it? He’s going to try. But he finds something in the bookstore and there are some “requests” that he doesn’t understand—mostly from older people. Les becomes suspicious. Unfortunately, investigating means killing his relationship with Dex. But he’s a cop—retired due to an injury, but still a cop.
I loved the setting. As someone who is from the area where this story takes place, I loved recognizing places the author described. I was back home again.
The characters are both flawed with definite problems, but their relationship works and the emotions come through.
Recommendation: If you love Andrew Grey’s work, add this one to your shelves. It’s worth it.
