Another good entry into the Dave Brandstetter series; although I did not enjoy this one as much as the first.
I still love that the mysteries that Dave finds himself at the heart of still revolve around queer characters and their unique strugggles, but I felt that this installment didn't balance the mystery with Dave's personal life and strugggling with his first relationship after the death of his long-time partner. I felt the personal story sort of get's forgotten in the last third of the book.
However, I look forward to the next installment and am thankful for these recent reprints.
