He's to Die For by Erin Dunn

4.0

---

This mix of mystery and romance is beautifully told, in a close third-person present tense that gives the immediacy of being there as it happens, with the evocativeness of knowing the central character's thoughts and observations. And he is an astute and sophisticated observer, whose viewpoint is well worth the ride. I thought perhaps it strayed a little too far into Danielle Steele territory, but that's probably due to my own, er, preferences. Excellent storytelling!
