Death Vows (Donald Strachey Series #9)

Gay marriage in Massachusetts is a fine institution--except when it leads to murder, as it does in this taut, suspenseful Don Strachey private eye novel, the ninth in the classic series. Strachey and his loving foil, Timothy Callahan, are back in perfect form in this witty, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller.

The Washington Post - Wayne Hoffman

This is Stevenson's ninth Donald Strachey novel, and his deliciously clipped style makes room for character and a heavy helping of humor without sacrificing pacing. The author is particularly adept at using snippets of rapid-fire dialogue to establish characters' personalities, which tend toward the sarcastic.
