His “true self suddenly awakened … trying to claw its way, biting and scratching, out of a deep, dark closet.”
In many respects, FLIGHT OF AQUAVIT is aHis “true self suddenly awakened … trying to claw its way, biting and scratching, out of a deep, dark closet.”
In many respects, FLIGHT OF AQUAVIT is a typical private investigator mystery – blackmail, ambushes, attempted murder, decoys and deceit, twists and turns, romance, and red herrings. Well written, well conceived, fast-paced easy reading and thoroughly enjoyable.
BUT (and here’s the trigger warning), the LGBTQ theme is absolutely relentless to the point of nearly overpowering the story itself. (In all fairness, Russell Quant IS a gay detective and I’m sure the power of the theme was absolutely intentional and intended to convey a message). If you find that to be the least bit distasteful, then perhaps you ought to question whether you have genuinely dispensed with your own closeted homophobia. After all, I put it to you that you would not be the least disturbed by reading a Sandra Brown hot and heavy romance thriller that is peppered with heterosexual innuendo and interludes.
Think about it!
AMUSE BOUCHE and TAPAS ON THE RAMBLAS, other titles in the Ray Quant series have definitely been added to my future reading list.
