Stanley Sternbaum is a shy, very shy, grad student who is just now leaving the nest to study Anthropology in San Diego. He rents his first apartment ever at the somewhat dodgy Belladonna Arms, a place full of gays with only one “pesky” heterosexual in the bunch. He is immediately entranced by o...
John Inman books are always good for a giggle and this one is no different. Dillard just turned 30 and is stuck in a rut. His books aren't selling and he is moving from menial job to menial job (and he has the ugly uniforms as mementos). On the way home from dinner with his overbearing moth...
A little weird, with its mix of slapstick and mystery, but quite enjoyable if you can look past the flaws in the mystery and the inexplicable insistence of the MCs not to get the police involved - I mean I get what they think their reasons are, but the priorities are really, really off.

It was fairly evenly in-between, and if it'd had more funny moments I might have upped it to a 2, maybe 2.5.I wasn't fond of the writing style (or the first person narrative), which always makes it a lot harder for me to get into...
After a hurried conversation that did nothing to ease my fears, I found myself once again at police headquarters in the butt-ugly pea green room with the ratty table and chairs and the gigantic two-way mirror on the wall. Just like last time, the stenographer followed me in and set up her tape re...
I trembled and closed my eyes. Sweet Jesus. The next thing I knew, Sam had tugged my shirt over my head and thrown it across the room. We were in the formal dining room with every light on in the place. That was as far as we had gotten from the kitchen when we started fooling around. We hadn&rsqu...
And I was determined to stay with Frank until Frank was ready to leave Indiana for good. I had enough money not to worry about having to find a job for a while. We still had a few weeks of rent paid on our apartment back in San Diego, and the other bills that came in from back there were forwarde...
