Summary: Not like his short fiction
Comment: This is one of two novels Townsend has which star his gay and kinky therapist, Bruce MacLeod. The story revolves around MacLeod, his lover, and his assistant as their daily lives are interrupted by several events: a nearby murder, a runaway gay teen, and a nosy reporter. The mysteries here are really all that great, go read a more mundane mystery if you want that. The sex too while it can be hot isn't numerous enough to really push this into the porn category. Instead this really is a novel that attempts to make us see that SM can be healthy or it can be unhealthy.
Rating: 4
Summary: One for the little boy that lives down the lane.
Comment: Though I have trouble with heroes whose "eyes seem to twinkle in gold-flecked splendor," and authors who pen such, I confess I find Larry Townsend's Bruce MacLeod mysteries entertaining. Once you get past the steel collars, handcuffs, and other accoutrements of SM, these books are pretty much like any mystery. They just dress differently.
Psychiatrist and police consultant, Bruce MacLeod is called in when the police commissioner's nephew turns up hustling on the streets of L.A. But Bruce has his own problems. His lover and former patient, Frank, is the target of a sleazy tabloid reporter who plans to "out" him--and now the reporter turns up strangled. Could this have anything to do with the recent murder of a wealthy Beverly Hills couple found garroted in their home?
Townsend deftly manages a skein of subplots interwoven with gay themes including homophobia, love vs sex, and coming out.
There's plenty of action, suspense and mystery. And surprisingly, beneath all that black leather beats a romantic heart.
