Bourbon Street blues

Library Journal

Young Scotty Bradley comes from good New Orleans stock-though his parents remain unrepentant hippies-but he earns his living as a personal trainer and go-go dancer in gay bars. A new dancing gig brings the return of a friend in desperate need, a "planted" computer disk, a studly new boyfriend, and murder on his front doorstep. Suspicion falls squarely on Scotty, but he has two lesbian aunties, a computer-whiz best friend, and an understanding lawyer brother for backup. Upbeat prose compounded of humor, caustic observations of Bourbon Street tourists, and far-reaching subplots recommend this first novel for gay fiction and larger mystery collections.
