Oh my god. I could not put this book down. Author wrote this noir mystery with attention to detail and Las Vegas of the 40s truly comes alive. And Grey Randall, private D (sorry, do not want even a chance of my review being deleted) belongs with the best representatives of such genre in my opinion. Philip Marlow anyone? Only funnier and since he is gay maybe his life just a tad bit harder. But Grey Randall does not sit around feeling sorry for himself. He is funny, he is really really funny and his sense of humor is actually rather dry."I shrugged. Maybe I should open a correspondence school: How to be a private D in five easy lessons".Grey Randall is also rather decent human being, for all him acting as if his job is the only thing he cares about. I just adored this character.Fans of romance beware - romance is not very present here, in fact I would have said that all that is going on (for now hopefully) is very very growing attraction between Grey and one of his potential suspects. But OMG whatever little sexual interaction happened between them and I certainly hope if next books are planned we will see some more was very HOT, it was full of future possibilities.Oh and secondary characters were lovely too. But it is mystery with romantic context, it is NOT romance. There is also a lovely hint at romance between another two guys, both of whom I adored, however I loved that author leaves it to my imagination to think about greater details.I loved this book, really loved.
