Somebody Killed His Editor by Josh Lanyon
3.0
3.5 Stars
Seriously? What the hell was that ending? You know after reading 18 Lanyons, I should know by now that the abrupt conclusion is coming, but it still slaps me in the face every damn time!! Arrgggh!!
Ok, back to the regular scheduled programming…
This was a great, complex mystery with a different tone that I’m used to from this author. Never short on smart, acerbic, or witty, this also had some great dashes of humor to it.
Christopher has gotten himself into a bit of a pickle. Not only is he trying to save his writing career, but he must also try to stay alive at the worst writers conference ever. Add in the enigmatic JX from his past to make things more complicated, he can barely juggle all the absurd situations he finds himself in.
Definitely lighter, more self deprecating, and funny in tone, it took me awhile to warm up to Christopher for some reason. However, the almost farcical situations he finds himself in contrasted nicely with the more somber moments with JX - all of which made for interesting twists and revelations. More romance and smex would always be appreciated, but again, that’s just another thing I need to accept and expect from this author. I’m still a fan though and probably always will be.
