Review: Not So Much Mystery....
Rating: 3 out of 5

As a fan of mysteries, I feel I expected something different when I started reading this, and got clobbered with Eddie and Nick's life story instead of a crime to solve.  These two brothers come from a wealthy, if highly dysfunctional family and both have issues, with life, work, sexuality and marriage - all of which is explained in each of Nicholas and Eddie's PoV's with an entertaining slant on self-effacing humour.Conflict isn't something these boys are used to, so when their father changes his will to exclude them, neither brother seems at all fazed. At first I assumed they formed the detective agency to prove to their parent they were serious minded men and not weak parasites, but this proves to be totally incorrect, they don't care what anyone thinks of them.There is lots of humour and edgy dialogue scattered amongst the pages, and a mystery does crop up somewhere along the line, but it makes a very brief appearance at the end so when the villain is foiled, it's pretty much an anti-climax.I would have liked more crime solving, I didn't realize the entire story was background to the inception of the agency and not the agency itself. But the blurb did say `this is how it happened'I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.
