À propos de cet audio
2013 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Mystery - Winner
When missing persons investigator Dan Sharp attends a wedding, he finds himself investigating more than one murder.
Dan Sharp, a gay father and missing persons investigator, accepts an invitation to a wedding on a yacht in Ontario’s Prince Edward County. It seems just the thing to bring Dan closer to his noncommittal partner, Bill, a respected medical professional with a penchant for sleazy after-hours clubs, cheap drugs, and rough sex. But the event doesn’t go exactly as planned.
When a member of the wedding party is swept overboard, a case of mistaken identity leads to confusion as the wrong person is reported missing. The hunt for a possible killer leads Dan deeper into the troubled waters and private lives of a family of rich WASPs and their secret world of privilege.
No sooner is that case resolved than a second one ends up on Dan’s desk. Dan is hired by an anonymous source to investigate the disappearance, 20 years earlier, of the groom’s father. The only clues are a missing bicycle and six horses mysteriously poisoned.

“Round draws readers deep into Dan's physical and psychological worlds, balancing his protagonist's faults with his gifts as an investigator and father.” (Publishers Weekly)

A little dated, unlikeable main character
This was very much a story in the 'hard bitten detective' style but with a main character who happens to like men instead of women. I like how his romantic life wasn't the main plot but Dan's a fairly bitter man, which gets a little wearying. He's perfect in every way too (amazing in bed, great handiman etc etc) which is also wearying. The writing feels quite clichéd and dated in style (I looked up the publishing date because of the 1950s feel but it's 2012! I wonder when it's set in that case, since nobody seems to have mobile phones, but youth play games like Lord of the Rings in arcades). I certainly didn't feel any particular attachment or affection for any of the characters. Dan is somehow both super desirable and attractive in some scenes, and 'radiation leak' ugly and scarred in others. Plot similarly scattered. Narrator sounds like a dalek doing character voices sometimes. Not sure I'll manage to get through the whole story. (edit to add, I did and felt very let down by the rushed conclusion to the mystery)
