Lots of drama on Ursulines,
By Weatherguy_TS (Allentown, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder in the Rue Ursulines: A Chanse MacLeod Mystery (Hardcover)
Generally, I like Greg Herren's work. In this piece, there were a lot of twists and, for the first time, I figured out who the "villain" was before Greg revealed him/her. However, there is too much Hollywood drama in the book for my tastes. I found myself skipping over pointless (in my opinion) paragraphs. If you're an Entertainment Tonight or People magazine fan, you'll love those paragraphs. Me? Too much drama that was not integral to the plot. Otherwise, a good read.

Take a "Chanse" on a great read by the master of gay mystery!,

This review is from: Murder in the Rue Ursulines: A Chanse MacLeod Mystery (Hardcover)
Like many residents in post-Katrina New Orleans, Chanse MacLeod is still a bit "shell shocked" by the experience, but keeping up his private investigations business, with help from friends and referrals.
One such referral, to track down the source of some threatening e-mails, develops into a murder investigation. The target of the e-mails is Freddy Bliss, the male half of a Hollywood A-list couple, who had relocated to New Orleans to help with the rebuilding. When his ex-wife ends up murdered, bludgeoned to death with her Emmy statuette, suspicion turns initially to Chanse, who had interviewed her earlier that day and actually handled the murder weapon, and then to Freddy, when Chanse testifies that he spotted someone resembling the actor leaving his ex's home shortly after when the murder likely took place. It's a case of mistaken identities, deceptions, expendable pawns, delusions and grudges, which involve Chanse, his best friend Paige, as well as Venus and Blaine, his friends from the New Orleans police department, in a twisted, well-written story from one of the masters of the gay mystery genre. Herren's words and style expertly and realistically paint the characters, locations and circumstances, using wit and suspense to keep us turning the pages, until he reveals how it all comes together for a realistic and satisfying ending. Bravo! Five spicy Cajun stars out of five!!
