About this listen

Tony Hart loves teaching, even though he's not much older than his high school students. Between his profession, a few good friends, and plenty of books, he's content with his quiet life. Then, the murdered body of another teacher falls into the elevator at his feet, and Tony's life becomes all too exciting.

Jared MacLean is a homicide detective, widowed father to a young daughter, and deeply in the closet. But, from the moment he meets Tony's blue eyes in that high school hallway, Mac can't help wanting this man in his life. Mac's not out and can't afford to be out, but Tony makes him want the impossible.

Mac isn't the only one with his eyes on Tony, though. As the murderer tries to cover their tracks, Mac has to work fast or lose Tony, permanently.

I was immediately hooked on the story.
Tony and Mac really have depth, emotion and passion between them.
Add in a murder mystery and trying to navigate the delicate intricacies of being gay during the time period and it was an instant win for me.
J. F. Harding did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life.
I can't wait to continue the story between Tony and Mac.

I always enjoy Kaje's writing and storytelling style. This is a compelling murder/mystery featuring a budding new romance between a teacher and the investigating (and closeted) cop. From the start, there's a connection and sizzling chemistry between these two and some steamy scenes follow.

There are various suspects and the murderer is not obvious at first. The drama builds to quite a long and suspenseful climax, and the story ends on a satisfying HFN. I'm looking forward to parts 2 and 3 in the series.

Superbly narrated as always by J.F. Harding, with great character portrayal, various distinct voices and excellent storytelling. Highly recommended.

I was on the edge of my seat from chapter one and was completely caught up in the case!

The story is a brilliant balance of mystery and intrigue while introducing and endearing you to the cast of characters. As you learn more about the characters you learn more about the case but it kept me guessing and there were definitely some moments I was completely shocked!

The story is honest and I'm interested to see how Toby and Mac's relationship will progress as time goes on. I like that their relationship wasn't fast tracked to a HEA. It seems more real and honest. Mac is in the closet and can't just jump out and have everything be fine. I look forward to seeing what will happen next, although I hope for Tony sake he can stay out of the cross-hairs next time!

mystery and intrigue!
