FROM THE BOOK:
"Former go-go boy turned detective Scotty Bradley is back!
When an old family friend apparently commits suicide from his French Quarter balcony, Scotty’s life accelerates from boring to exciting again in a nanosecond. Why would anyone want the old man dead, and what were they looking for in his ransacked apartment? It’s up to Scotty, Frank, his crazy family, and friends to get to the bottom of this bizarre mystery—and when an old, all-too-familiar face turns up, it’s not just Scotty’s life that’s in danger, but his heart."
MY THOUGHTS:
I love Scotty Bradley! This series is quirky and funny, with just a touch of romance thrown in, (really, it's barely there). Scotty is an ex-go go boy who has become a private investigator and started his own business with his partner/lover Frank (an ex-FBI agent). Together they solve mysteries and try to keep each other from getting killed by the bad guys. Scotty's family is an eclectic bunch of well-meaning, warm-hearted souls, who help and/or hinder often. Scotty uses his considerable assets to solve the case, including his well toned body, stunning good looks, a small amount of psychic ability, and occasionally a pack of tarot cards. It all comes together in a fantastic smash-up of fun and mystery, with highly memorable characters. Technically this most recent installment could be a stand alone, but I would still recommend reading them in order. I give them 4 stars each for being enjoyable, fun, light reading that you won't soon forget.
