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.

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.

Chanse is Back
Amos Lassen

For those of you who are not familiar with Herren's series of books (I called them the "Murder" books), Chanse is a gay former policeman turned detective in New Orleans. All of the books give fascinating insight into gay New Orleans and just as Chanse is the main character in the books, the city of New Orleans also plays a major part.
As New Orleans continues to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina, Chanse finds himself embroiled in a very ... Read More:
