Catchy Title
Catchy Title rated it 11 years ago
In 2013, it seems a little dated, until you remember that one or two wrong turns in elections and all the gains are at risk. If you don't think a study and awareness of the reasons for gay rights is still necessary, look at all the years the government spent spying on gays and lesbians for no other ...

Subtle and perfect, with all the basics of a film noir, so just like a Raymond Chandler novel, there's no happily ever after.

A really interesting, and well done mystery. I really liked the atmosphere, and tone of the story. It was dark, gritty, and there was a good balance of motivations, and personalities in the story so it never felt like there were characters that were too good to believed or just plain pure evil eithe...

This last novel in Nava's Henry Rios series makes you happy in the way it closes the series and makes you a little sad that Nava won't write about Henry's life no more.

The weakest one of the first three Rios' novel. Less about the characters and more about the plot, the why and who of the case. Which wasn't that interesting in the first place or probably a little too cliché for my taste. The plot : Rios is asked to defend a young gay man accused to have murdered h...
