A Shock to the System

Book five in the "Don Strachey" mysteries, Don investigates the murder of a young man who participated in a psychological program to 'cure' gay men.

Throughout the series, Stevenson's writing is witty and highly entertaining and this book is no exception. I really enjoyed it.

As a side note, this is one of two "Don Strachey" books which has been turned into a movie. While the movie is very different in its execution and details, it's still entertaining and the actors do a fine job of portraying the literary characters.

This is the second title I received in the series and even if it's the fifth book in the series, I couldn't wait. I just went ahead and started to read. It's a good read too. A complex web of intrigue centered on the death of Paul Haigh, who may or may not have committed suicide 8 months after going thru and quitting a controversial therapy curing homosexuals. You follow the plot and just go along for the ride. Pretty nice ride.
