He's not your ordinary run of the mill murder mystery sleuth. Lanyon can recluse himself in a ranch somewhere in the hills where he can work undisturbed.Īdrien English is different. I am really looking forward to the third book, and hope that we don't have to wait a couple of years for it. Although I really enjoyed the first book in the series, "Fatal Shadows", I liked this one even more. The story is fast-paced, involving a complex plot and colorful set of characters, with a drug connection, a suspicious archeological dig, and ancient Native American secrets. And although Adrien at one point quips that Riordan is "buried so deep in the closet he didn't know where to look for himself", there may still be hope for a relationship (or maybe not). When Adrien gets whacked on the head by an unknown assailant, Detective Riordan come to the rescue. (The man is becoming a virtual Jessica Fletcher - people should run for their lives when they see him coming!). As you can well imagine, relaxing is the last thing Adrien does as murder follows. Bookseller Adrien English escapes to his ranch to try to relax and to get over writer's block (he is working on his second novel), as well as to get away from Detective Jake Riordan and their unusual "relationship".
