3.0 out of 5 stars Let Shame Say What it Will, March 11, 2000

By 

Drew Brainiard "watchword" (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shame (Paperback)

"They were on the bridge by now. Behind them was the magnificent view of the San Fernando Valley, reaching from Burbank right around to Northridge. THE GOOD WEATHER WAS AGAIN ALLOWING EXCELLENT VISIBILITY." I love this. Clearly Pelham has never spent five minutes in LA, but hey, you gotta love the guy for trying. And not just with the smog, with PLOT. Rebel that he clearly is, Pelham defied the Idol Book submission guidelines and dared to write a plot! Here it is: British citizen Martyn Townsend (a little nod there to Master Larry?) is vacationing in LA when he meets and falls in love with Scott (they just have enough time to work it in between six or seven other dangerous liasions). But then Scott is killed (bummer!) and Martyn believes Scott's mysterious ex-boyfriend Peter could be involved. Martyn heads for London to find Peter--while someone else hunts Martyn. Pelham has an easy, breezy style--and a tendancy to veer off into dialog (internal and external) that has nothing to do with sex. Ain't nothing to be shamed about here!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story and good everything else!, February 22, 2008

This review is from: Shame (Idol Series) (Mass Market Paperback)

Martyn Townsend is on a holiday in West Hollywood where he meets Scott and finds himself falling in love...until Scott is brutally murderded in his arms. Martyn sets off to England to find Peter, Scott's previous partner, in the hope of finding his murderer.
Instead he finds a lot more than he bargained for as he is plunged into a world of casuel sex, and the club scenes of London.
IDOL delivered the sex and erotica but also a good story which I find adds to the novel.
I liked it!
