An Echo of Death : A Tom and Scott Mystery (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from St. Martin's Press Price: $11.95 Customer Review: ![]() Mark Richard Zubro's fifth installment in the prolific "Tom and Scott" mystery series does not disappoint; and while it may be slightly lacking in character study and development, the suspense is rock solid, and the mystery is actually semi-plausible. Tom Mason, a suburban high school teacher,... |

The Only Good Priest (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from St. Martin's Press Price: $8.76 Customer Review: ![]() When I read the first five pages I knew I was in trouble. The writing throughout the book was very flat. Keeping track of all the characters was a monumental feat that left you wondering WHY they were actually written into this novel. About the only completely "fleshed" out character was Scott - The... |

Here Comes the Corpse (Tom & Scott Mysteries) from St. Martin's Minotaur Price: $16.77 Customer Review: ![]() Unfamiliar with the author, I bought the book based on my reading of the dust jacket. What an interesting premise--two prominent gay men discover a murder at their wedding reception. The story went downhill from there, however, with so many red herrings flying around than I thought I was watching a... |

Dead Egotistical Morons: A Paul Turner Mystery from St. Martin's Press Price: $16.77 Customer Review: ![]() Zurbo came highly recommended to me, but after reading Morons I can't imagine why. The characters are prefabricated and flat, with no appeal; the actual clues to the killer are nonexistent; and the book ends with a fizzle that somehow manages to be almost as tedious and unbelievable as it is out of... |

Sorry Now? (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from St. Martin's Press Price: $8.76 Customer Review: ![]() Fortunately, the Paul Turner series gets better as does Zubro's crafting of enjoyable cop mystery stories. With this one, the debut of Paul Turner, Zubro tackles an interesting premise: are gay activist orgnizations behind the murder of an anti-gay televangelist's daughter? It's a question Paul... |

The Principal Cause of Death (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from St. Martin's Press Price: $9.56 Customer Review: ![]() This is better than your average gay murder mystery. Parts are funny, and nothing sticks out as being particularly bad. Not the best Zubro, but one to read after you've finished all the others. Good beach reading material. |

Political Poison : A Paul Turner Mystery (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from St. Martin's Press Customer Review: ![]() This is the second Zubro mystery I have read, and it was not near as good as the first one, "Another Dead Teenager." However, I am not deterred from reading all of his work, and I will continue to purchase the new ones as they are published. What I criticized in "Another Dead Teenager" I found to... |

Are You Nuts? : A Tom & Scott Mystery (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from Stonewall Inn Mysteries Price: $10.36 Customer Review: ![]() One morning in 1989 gay school teacher Tom Mason unlocked his Chicago classroom and opened the door to one of the most successful mystery franchises in gay fiction--the real mystery being the apparent popularity of this implacably mediocre series. And yet there is much to be said for Zubro's work.... |

Drop Dead (Paul Turner Mystery) from St. Martin's Minotaur Customer Review: ![]() The dialogue was trite and repetitive, and the relationship between Paul Turner and his partner not very believable. I was looking for strong characterisations of the main characters. Instead, what I got were many detailed descriptions of what each successive character wore, the different fabrics,... |

Another Dead Teenager: A Paul Turner Mystery (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from St. Martin's Press Price: $10.95 Customer Review: ![]() I did not relish in Zubro's gay mystery, nor did I of any of his novels. I wanted to share this novel with my eldest son who is gay; I thought it would be helpful and comforting for him to see that gays or any groups in which society deems and stereotypes "different". He was quite upset with the... |

Sex and Murder.com : A Paul Turner Mystery (Stonewall Inn Mysteries) from Stonewall Inn Mysteries Price: $11.16 Customer Review: ![]() The book was a compelling read for chapter to chapter, but at the end you feel cheated. While it makes an interesting Fiction, it did not have the makings of a good Mystery. The solution was rushed in the last two chapters of the book. Nowhere were clues during the read that could lead even a... |
