James Lear brings his style of adventure, snappy dialogue and rowdy, heaving, breeches ripping erotic sex to this new Mitch Mitchell mystery. This is the third Mitch Mitchell novel and this time around the plot is closer, much, much closer to home as Mitch’s friend and sometime lover ‘Boy’ Morgan is implicated in a plot that seems to lead all the way to the suicide (or is it killing) of his secret lover!

James Lear or Rupert Smith, (as those in the know know him) is a prolific author and regular contributor to the UK gay press and in this third installment of the MM Mysteries, he does what he does best; writing a homoerotic, interesting and funny book which whips through a vaguely authentic historical setting with as much sex, in as many novel rampant sweaty ways, as his fevered imagination can come up with, and boy can this guys imagination come up with sexy steamy stuff. His boyfriend must be exhausted!

This is great fun, an easy one handed read with an attention-grabbing plot and if you’re tired of the usual bland American jock-buff-fare, and finding it all a little predictable, then this erotically charged and unabashedly sexual novel could be the one to while away a few dark hours with and revitalise your sexual imagination.

It’s nice to read someone who can get you hard and make you laugh at the same time. More please Mr Smith.
