Is there one JL you’d specifically recommend above all others? I am told that in order to properly complete my study of great dicks of m/m literature, I need to meet Jake Riordan. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it, though.

And thanks! Lurgy needs more usin’, is my way of thinking.

I’ve heard good things specifically about Yellow Socks, so I’ll likely beard that one it its lair first. Plus it’s set in my home state, so bonus points there.

Definitely sounds like a mixed bag that book. I’ve enjoyed all the Josh Lanyon I’ve read so far and I want to read more of his, but I won’t go rushing myself to read this one.

Extra points for use of the word “lurgy” in the review. One of my favourite words.

Oh, no! This was your first JL book? The Adrien English ones are where I started. One that stands out for me, as a stand alone rather than part of a series, is The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks, which I found funny, clever, and sexy.

It can happen — we all have that author everyone else loves who loves us cold. Hope you find a JL book to relish.

See, that’s the thing: everyone talked to me about how wonderful Lanyon is, so I had very high hopes. And I’ll definitely check out the Adrien English mysteries, because I’ve heard good things about them AND I did really appreciate Lanyon’s use of language.

And don’t think I didn’t think, “Oh HELL, not an unlikeable protag so soon after…” But I just couldn’t get around it. Flynn was such a limp-dicked wienerschnitzel. Och.

Well, an unredeemed dickish protag and so soon after the “dicks” ramble? My first take on this review was to say “phwew, glad this isn’t in my TBR pile.”

But then, I looked at the big pile of Josh Lanyons that I have read and enjoyed. Realized that sooner or later I will HAVE TO go get this one and read it, just to see for myself. Lanyon is one of the few authors that I buy without checking the reviews, because the talent has never disappointed me yet. I appreciate that sometimes an author wants to experiment a little, not get typecast or boxed in by past successes. So even the perhaps not-best offering from one of my favorite authors is probably going to get a read. Thanks for this review — I’ll keep my expectations for this book managed accordingly.
