At first I wasn't too sure of the narrator, Alexander Masters, but, by the end of the story, I was appreciating the more noirish tone of voice for the characters and the story. Bueno ( ) I liked a lot of things about this book. It was an interesting mystery, set during WWII, great Los Angeles noir atmosphere, complicated family dynamics, and two protagonists with realistic challenges to face after returning from the war. I didn't, however, love the romance. It felt like the characters spent way too little time together before they were suddenly in love. It had great potential because there were high emotional stakes and some real character development could have happened to bring them together, but it felt like a romance short cut was taken. I'll definitely give the author another shot because there was a lot of good in the story and I enjoyed it overall. Nathan Doyle knew he would be a potential suspect in the death of Phil Arlen, so he decided to use his investigative reporting skills to try to solve the case on his own and clear his name. But he didn't count on Detective Matt Spain to throw a wrench in that plan. Not only is Matt committed to solving the case but he's also quite attractive--a fact Nathan has a hard time shaking. But when the truth comes out, will Nathan be cleared? And what will he do about his crush on the straight detective who seems like he wouldn't hesitate to lock Nathan up? I had a hard time getting into this one, and it never really seemed to click for me. The story moves apace but there is very little opportunity to get to know and connect with the characters. I felt like it lacked depth, which was surprising to me since I usually find Josh Lanyon stories a bit more enjoyable. Another one of the nicely written mystery novels from Lanyon, once again with a nice guy who is involved in a murder case, this time by being one of the prime suspects, who falls for the handsome macho detective as does that stallion does for him. The question (well, not really) is, will they be able to form a couple because this story takes place in the forties.

HTML: Los Angeles, 1943 Reporter Nathan Doyle had his reasons to want Phil Arlen dead, but when he sees the man's body pulled from the La Brea tar pit, he knows he'll be the prime suspect. He also knows that his life won't stand up to intense police scrutiny, so he sets out to crack the case himself. Lieutenant Matthew Spain's official inquiries soon lead him to believe that Nathan knows more than he's saying. But that's not the only reason Matt takes notice of the handsome journalist. Matt's been drawn to men before, but he must hide his true feelings--or risk his entire career. As Nathan digs deeper, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay one step ahead of Matt Spain--and to deny his intense attraction to him. Nathan's secrets may not include murder, but has his hunt put him right in the path of the real killer?
