Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Michael Craft really knows how to write a proper mystery. The stakes are as high as they can be, there are enough red herrings to make Agatha herself proud, and the characters are flawed and believable. There's a little bit of dramatic irony, but not enough to keep you ahead of the characters, and the parts that seem to be turn out to be herrings. Even the amorous encounters are part of the plot. Nicely done. This is the type of book you just want to plow through to find out the whodunnit! ( ) no reviews | add a review

Journalist Mark Manning's Midwestern hometown closes ranks against him when his nephew is suspected of murder For Mark Manning, running the local paper in his Wisconsin hometown is a refreshing change from his life as a hard-charging reporter for the Chicago Journal. Together with his partner, architect Neil Waite, he's settling into scenic, sleepy Dumont, whose inhabitants have welcomed them into their fold. Until Manning's nephew becomes the prime suspect in a murder case. Teenagers Thad Quatrain and Jason Thrush alternated the lead role in the community theatre's production of Teen Play.

A novel about sexual identity, desire, and the lies we tell ourselves, Boy Toy explores the secret passions that war within the human heart.
