''Joseph R.G. DeMarco takes a look into the formative years of his gay detective character, Marco Fontana, in this teasing collection of short murder mysteries.... Through the stories, readers learn about Marco's teen years and '20s, his growing collection of friends and allies, and his healthy attitude regarding his sexual orientation. This collection of mini-mysteries is compelling.... Overall, the collection is solid, and serves to spark interest in the escapades of this gay private dick, all grown up.'' --Edge Philadelphia''The mysteries are well laid out with suspense and mo-tivation for the perpetrators' actions, showing what makes them tick. Engaging characters also cause readers to feel empathy for those who are hurt and falsely accused. Well-researched and accurate details of Philadelphia and New York clearly portray the cities' geography and culture, and the events that occur. All these qualities make this book more than a simple mystery collection. This book is welcome to any mystery collection for adults or mature young adults.'' --The GLBT-Round Table of the American Library Association
