In this second in the "Chanse MacLeod" mystery series, former New Orleans cop-turned-private investigator Chanse MacLeod is hired by the owner of a new nightclub to find out who has been trying to sabotage her business from opening. During his preliminary investigation, he finds his boyfriend, Paul, is somehow involved with one of the suspects in the case. Eventually, Chanse finds out that Paul had a secret past as a well-known "erotic wrestler" in gay videos, which makes Chanse doubt how well he really knows his boyfriend. When Paul is then arrested for the murder of one of the other suspects, Chanse fights an inner battle between his feelings and loyalty to his boyfriend and his instincts as an investigator, a battle that isn't completely resolved when Paul is cleared of the charges and promptly disappears.

A captivating mystery of deceptions, kinky obsessions, unshared pasts, loyalties, and mob ties, well-written as is all of Herren's works. Kept me on the edge of my seat till the last page.

I have read all three of his novels and each one is more intriguing and difficult to put down for a moment. Murder in the Rue St. Ann is so descriptive that you actually feel you are present in New Orleans. Great set of main characters who continue in the novel and are not dropped out midstream. I can't wait for his next novel. GREAT job here.

This book is darker than most of the Greg Herren books but still a must read. I recommend reading his books in order. Each book is more intriguing and each book is more interesting. He develops his main characters more with each page and each book to where the characters become a part of your life. I love how you get to see the weaknesses in Chance's shell in this book and his emotions. I just warn you the ending is not how you would hope it would end. Add this series to your library as Chance is a great gay detective that is just trying to find his way in life.
