…And I, in turn, fell in love with the detective. So lemme just step on my soapbox once more and shout from the top of my lungs…… What a solid, smoothly- written old-school detective! A fast-paced murder mystery with a grim edge, in which dead bodies pop up everywhere, the killer’s one step ahead of the game, and the sturdy detective falls in love with a suspect… If you adore your m/m romance clichés and manipulative tropes, ones that leave you teary-eyed, you’ll be barking at the wrong tree as well. You won’t find overwrought flowery sentences and metaphors in this book.
So color me very relieved when The Elegant Corpse turned out to be a breath of fresh air! Like being buried underneath an avalanche of mediocrity, that’s basically how I felt about my latest reads. But before he can make Sean his, he’s going to have to solve the mystery of the elegant corpse. Wants something from Roger–and is everything Roger ever wanted. Knows something about the murder he’s not telling. Additional distraction comes in the form of the victim’s younger brother Sean. And that corpse is carrying a leather flogger. Someone delivers an elegantly clothed corpse to his home.
He thinks he’s doing a pretty good job of keeping it covert, but then something happen that changes his mind. He’s less forthcoming about his leather lifestyle. BLURB: Detective Roger Corso is open about his sexual orientation.
