Rav is our NYPD Detective that is polished, well-spoken, dressed to the 9s and openly gay. He also happens to be the son of a lord so every chance his co-workers get they are ribbing him about it.
Jack is our lead singer of the band that Rav is investigating for the murder of a character Jack is closely linked to and he is reportedly bisexual.
Rav and Jack's situation-ship evolves over the investigation because Jack is Rav's number one suspect.
I will say I felt like the story dragged on a bit as there was a lot of over explanation and sometimes I forgot they were in the middle of a murder case because of the behaviors exhibited. I did enjoy the well crafted mystery which aligned with the story perfectly. I just felt like there was something missing with the pacing. It felt a bit slow, IMO. I also enjoyed the banter between the two main characters. It felt witty and swoon-worthy.
Overall, a 4 Star due me not really vibing with the POV, that is my only gripe with this novel.

Ever since I came across this book on Goodreads I've wanted to read it, so naturally I signed up on Netgalley and did just that. This book didn't disappoint at all. I knew I was going to like it just from the cover and description alone but I didn't expect to fall in love. Described as a mix between The charm offensive and Brooklyn 99, He's to die for tells a story filled with mystery, love, drama, music and so much more. I literally could not put the book down so this is your warning- don't start this book when you have assignments due soon. I loved Rev and Jack with my whole heart and I hope you will too!
Thank you so much Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC. I loved every second of it.

This is definitely a light summer read. There were some twists I didn't see coming and it made the book that much more enjoyable.
I dislike when an author writes in third person present, so it was hard to love this book. It is like reading a screenplay. The characters were the best part of the book. The mystery didn’t quite hold together but it was entertaining. This was more mystery than romance and I’m not convinced the characters will stay together in the long run.
