Manlove most tender, detection most though: Josh Lanyon

I really appreciate Josh Lanyon as one of the best romance/mystery writers. His mysteries are cool, hiss detectives are though, and the tormented, contrasted love of his protagonists oh, so tender aud touching! MLR Press has published two books of his novellas. most mystery, some horror or simply romantic. I've loved "Snowball in hell", with journalist Nathan and detective Matt Spain, and "Cards ond the table", where Tarots, manlove and the psychology of disability mingle in the solving of a cold Hollywood murder case case by the writer Tim and his friend? Ex lover? Detective Jack. As for the second volume, I was chilled by the haunted houses stories, saddened b "I spy someting bloody", the sour homecoming of a disgraced spy,
Highly recommended read!
