I want all my stories like this. Tims is fragile and stubborn, a dangerous combination, Jack is strong and concerned, an irresistible combination. It takes a while for them to find and re-find their way to each other, but it was so good.The murder Tim is investigating is 50 years old but it still stirs something that someone would prefer to stay hidden. Tim finds himself in the line of fire, so to speak, and he asks Jack for help. Jack and Tim went on a few dates, but Jack made Tim understand he didn't want a relationship, and the feeling of being refused, especially because of his medical condition, left something sour in Tim. After an accident, Tim has been having seizures, but the seizures seem also an excuse Tim uses to keep Jack at distance when the cop begins to show his interest. The two men dance their way back together with a bit of mistrust and miscommunication. I couldn't put the book down. In the space of a novella there was the heartache of months, life changing events and how they impact on one's life, and especially Tim's need of being loved and accepted for what he is, for what happened to him.Tim's investigation and emotional journey are weaved together beautifully and I almost felt I was living in two different periods at once, enjoying both the investigation and the glamour of the old Hollywood stars. Fantastic.
