About this listen
Private investigator Dan Sharp searches the seamy underbelly of the city for a brutal killer.
Following an anonymous tip, missing persons investigator Dan Sharp makes a grisly find in a burned-out slaughterhouse in Toronto’s west end. Someone is targeting known sex offenders whose names and identities were released on the Internet. When an iconic rock star contacts Dan to keep from becoming the next victim, things take a curious turn. Dan’s search for a killer takes him underground in Toronto’s broken social scene - a secret world of misfits and guerrilla activists living off the grid - where he hopes to find the key to the murders.

“Pumpkin Eater reminds us why we keep coming back to Jeffrey Round, with a mystery that hooks us and some of the most engaging, complex and satisfying gay characters currently in print. Creepy, touching and funny in just the right measure. I look forward to the third installment.” (Christian Baines, author of The Beast Without)

fine except for...
the in-your-face excuses for and attempts to normalize hebephilia/pederasty. There is no situation where a sexual relationship between a 12 year old and a 30 year old is acceptable.
There's a very long conversation in chapter 5, I believe, where 4 characters discuss sex between "willing" children between 12 and 15 and grown adults, and not one of them thought there was anything wrong with it. The protagonist proclaimed that his first experience was at 12 years old with a man in his 30s, and that he actively pursued the older man. Sorry, still not ok.
That ruined it for me. Any merits the book may have had were overshadowed by that.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
