2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Conned (The Bureau #6)

Conned (The Bureau #6) by Kim Fielding

A wonderful mystery with complicated turns and corners with a twist I wasn't expecting at the end. A nice and entertaining story to read. The characters are mostly likeable, with some being completely mysterious. I truly enjoyed how the friendship between Abe and Thomas developed, leading to their romance. The plot ran smoothly bringing the reading through an up and down an adventurous roller coaster. I've enjoyed Fielding's stories for quite some time now. Highly recommended.

2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Fade Out (Boystown #13)

Fade Out (Boystown #13) by Marshall Thornton

I'm rating this one as a solid 40 - Best of in the Mystery . Robert B Parker couldn't have written a better PI. This was like a visit to Chicago of the 80's, speaking as someone who lived there ... and I'd like to hand this to younger gay men who really have no idea what the AIDS plague was like. I do hope Nick Nowak got his fresh start and is still around - older, having made a life for himself, and maybe even happy.
