Wealthy playboy Brett Sheridan thinks he knows the score when he hires tough guy private eye Neil Patrick Rafferty to find a priceless stolen folio of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Brett's convinced his partner-in-crime sister is behind the theft - a theft that's liable to bring more scandal to their eccentric family, and cost Brett his marriage to society heiress Juliet Lennox. What Brett doesn't count on is the instant and powerful attraction that flares between him and Rafferty.

Once before, Brett tok a chance on loving a man, only to find himself betrayed and broken. This time around there's too much at risk.

But as the Bard himself would say, "Journeys end in lovers meeting."

It's been way too long since I've read this type of Josh Lanyon story. Just clever and witty, with a teensy bit of romance. Very fun.

Jordan Murphy does a great job with the audio - I enjoyed his characters' voices and he definitely pulls off how droll Lanyon writes this one.

What a Mystery!

Well Mr. Lanyon does it again. This is a wonderful mystery/romance told by the perfect narrator for the 1930's noir-like style of storytelling. There is a slow build up of the romance while trying to solve the mystery of who stole a valuable copy of The Tempest (thus the title). He throws in lots of red herrings and action; but, for me, the mystery is really secondary to the MCs journey of self discovery. It all blends together for a truly wonderful listen. Definitely worth a credit.

The only Lanyon book that I haven't loved.

The voice - a film noir style hard boiled detective - was unconvincing and irritating. The mystery was OK but the main character did not seem real and the romance/passion was unconvincing.

Overall it was formulaic and not gripping or intriguing in the least. It is the first time I haven't enjoyed a book by this author.

Disappointing work from a favourite author

I love everything about this but the end. For some reason, Josh Lanyon always cuts the story abruptly. I love his storytelling and will continue to support this guy cause he is just an amazing gay writer. But come on man, please make the ending last for at least a chapter or two.

Excellent writing!

Loved the feel of the time frame. The narrator's gruff voice for Neil and the ever so upper snobbish of Brett yo flighty Juliette. Fun Perfection!

One of my favorites!

Enjoyable listen for all the little twists but I should check if there is a sequel as many questions were left unanswered

Good mystery
