After surviving the threat of a murderer and finding love with each other, George Martin and Mike Foster, best friends since childhood, are settling into a happy life. George’s new promotion to the youngest captain in the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office keeps him busy, and his current case is no exception.
The body of a fifty-year-old drag queen is found in the locked dressing room of a bar. As George delves into the subsequent murder investigation, he uncovers a dangerous trail of murdered drag queens and young gay men that intersects with another case involving porn films, torture, and worse. He struggles to make sense of the murders, but it’s Mike who asks the question that leads to a break in the case.
Review:
George’s career with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is going stronger than ever. His actions bring him to the attention of his superiors, resulting in a promotion that makes him the youngest captain ever in the department. Through it all his partner and best friend, Mike, is there to lend his support.
Drag and Drop is the second story in Etienne’s Avondale series. From the start the author pulls you right back into the men’s world. The connection between George and Mike is just as strong, if not stronger, than before. Even without any overly sexual scenes the author is able to clearly show the passion that exists between these two men. Their romance is wonderfully mixed with the mystery that makes up George’s current case.
Once again George finds himself investigating a serial killer. This time the case evolves into something much more and will take the reader on a wild ride as it goes places George isn’t expecting. Some of the areas this case touches on, however, may be uncomfortable for some readers. The secondary characters that helped make up the first story are back again to lend the men a hand, and a few new characters are added to keep the story feeling fresh.
Drag and Drop is a very entertaining story that will keep the reader turning the page till the very end.
