Mystery book store owner and soon to be published author Adrien English's friend and employee Robert has just shown up dead. Despite the reservations of closeted Detective Riordan, Adrien believes that there is a connection between Robert's death and the death of another of his old schoolfriends.
I enjoyed this but it was too short - I wanted more depth - and the murderer was fairly obvious.

An interesting, if unspectacular, murder mystery that is heavily populated with characters where every one has the potential to be guilty. Short, average read. (

This was a great debut for a new author. The mystery was something of a southern cozy, not real deep, but still very satisfying. The amateur sleuth, Adrien English, is likeable and humorous. Teh new resvised edition has some steamier scenes between Adrien and Jake, and the plot is expanded on. I read all 3 of this series in two days. (

A fantastic romp, with a really surprising plot. I highly recommend this one. Although this book is out of print the author has a free pdf version available on his website. I urge you all to check it out. (

Adrien English Mystery Series #1 Someone's out to get Los Angeles bookseller Adrien English. His best friend has been viciously murdered, now he's getting weird phone calls and sinister gifts from a mysterious "admirer." The cops think he's trying to divert suspicion from himself-with the exception of sexy and homophobic homicide detective Jake Riordan. Is Riordan really such a great detective--or does he have a few secrets of his own? Is his offer to help Adrien on the level or is he out to nail his favorite suspect -- to the wall?
