The first reason I loved this book? It's set in my home town and I felt...comfortably familiar with the setting.
But more importantly, I loved this book because of the characters. They grabbed me on page one and didn't let go until the book concluded. I really liked that we, the readers, get to know Detective Kurt O'Donnell's slain partner Ben, and the hidden life he led, right along with Kurt. Kurt was a good guy and I really loved that once he found out Ben's life partner had, in fact, been a man he still dives in with both feet to do what he can for Davy. I enjoyed watching their initial contact slowly metamorphose into friendship and eventually, to straight Kurt's confusion, into something deeper.
