![]() ![]() Lanyon (as usual) is at the top of her game with punchy dialogue, most notably Kit’s withering self-assessments and witty asides. We’re treated to the hilarous insanity that is Rachel Ving and we also see the return of an old frenemy. The book is well-plotted and well-paced and there are some surprising (and pleasing) twists and turns in the relationship between Kit and J.X. The difference here, is this isn’t his first rodeo and he’s actually been paying attention. The cops soon appear and Christopher, once again, finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation. To make matters worse, David suggests the body is Christopher’s former assistant (who David ran off with) and accuses him of killing him. ![]() Of course, that comes to a screeching halt when Christopher gets a call from his ex David informing him that a body has been discovered in the backyard of his former home in Los Angeles. ![]() The story takes place four months after the events of ‘The Boy With the Painful Tattoo’ and we find Christopher Holmes and J.X. And that’s the nice thing about a series: the author has the time and luxury to let the characters mature and learn and just be. This is the fourth book in the series and, much like a fine wine, the series has improved with age. ![]()
