I concur with RJ Scott that this is a compelling book.  It incorporates extreme homophobia that gay men often face from their families.  Paul comes through as a tremendously gutsy character, nonetheless.  His developing relationship with Angelo on Malta was truly heartwarming.  While I am not usually enamored with having paranormal events wrapped into a plot, in this case (ignoring what my scientific mind reminds me) it actually enhanced the development of the characters.  The ending was positive and brought us all back to the world that my rational mind understands.What I particularly appreciated was Quinton's geographically exactly correct depiction of Malta.  I found myself going numerous times to Wikipedia looking up cities, buildings, and Ascension Cave.  And to the 5-star Phoenician Hotel's website.  The novel makes me want to visit there.All in all, Caravaggio's Angel was wonderful.
