Even sneaks up on you until one day you realise you’ve become just a tiiny bit obsessed. I’ve read each book as it was published and I feel this is one of these series that really grows on you.

And here we are, a few short months after the release of Night Drop, this book also made its way into audio and I couldn’t be happier. And by spoiled I mean getting multiple releases of a beloved series in just a few months. I can’t tell you how much I love being spoiled as a listener. The varied characters are really what make this book shine, along with the writing and good scene setting of early 90s LA, but it must be said the narrator again does a great job in his reading. He also has to confront old friends from his past life and his now deceased lover (not literally, this is not a ghost story.) It’s good to see Noah opening up more. And there are still great moments of humor. But that doesn’t make it any less worthwhile a read. This book has a slightly more serious internal tone than the first one as it goes into the struggles of our main character’s daily life maintaining HIV while also keeping it a secret from his best friends & family. There are good twists and turns and interesting characters that pop up that make it really engaging, especially if you have an interest in old hollywood. “So, like, what are you guys? Gay Charlie’s Angels?” “No, we’re just far too nosey for our own good,” Noah and his friends are entangled in a murder mystery again, this time all about a dress from an old movie.
