A Shot in the Dark: A Twitten Mystery (A Constable Twitten Mystery)

Product Information

As Crystal is detailing the clues he’s collected over the years, in hopes of remembering something he’s sure he saw that would identify the culprits, a shot rings out and Crystal is dead. Moonlight slants through the trees on the ancestral Dunlow estate, where a young woman runs for her life.

Steine was no hero though, as on the day of the massacre (which saw 45 opposing mafia gang members killed) Steine (on hearing that the villains were all armed) arranged to stop by the local ice cream parlour with the rest of his team, thereby ensuring that they missed the main event. I'm also not really religious at all, but I could understand and sympathize with Ely, and there was a lot I learned about! There is a palpable love and acceptance that flows from the people we meet even in passing, and especially amongst the people who became Wyatt and Ely's friends who were weird and complicated, generous and wise.Not sure anyone could have told me that a romance between a transman and a pansexual lapsed Hasidic woman, both of whom are recovering addicts, would be one of my favorite romances of the year. Do not expect anything new or groundbreaking about making art but it did flesh out nicely Ely (and a bit) Wyatt as characters.

also, lee’s comedic timing in wyatt and ely’s banter and internal monologuing is absolutely unparalleled, i was incorrigibly snorting with every page-turn. Throughout the book the author is a strong presence, becoming almost a character in the story itself through use of parentheticals and conversational tendencies that read as if someone is talking to the reader directly as they might relate an occurance or tell a story. It's been a trend for me this year to get super into romance novels that are so much more than romance novels, that have full, complex and messy characters who have so much more going on in their life than just romance.But when an interrupted break-in leaves the prime suspect dead the deductive powers and tenacity of young Twittern spring into action and are given a run for their money. S. Crystal comes to Brighton to attend the debut of A SHILLING IN THE METER, a new, somewhat full-of-itself play by Jack Braithwaite. there are several side characters who a friend of mine compared quite accurately to those of casey mcquiston: they exist outside of the protagonists with their own lives, emotions and personalities, and are very easy to grow attached to. The publisher’s blurb gives a lot away, so if you’ve read it, you know that Ely has a one-night-stand with Wyatt before she knows who he is.
