The Back Passage
A seaside village, an English country house, a family of wealthy eccentrics and their equally peculiar servants, a determined detective — all the ingredients are here for a cozy Agatha Christie-style whodunit. But wait — Edward “Mitch” Mitchell is no Hercule Poirot, and The Back Passage is no Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Mitch is a handsome, insatiable 22-year-old hunk who never lets a clue stand in the way of a steamy encounter, whether it’s with the local constabulary, the house secretary, or his school chum and fellow athlete Boy Morgan, who becomes his Watson when they’re not busy boffing each other. When Reg Walworth is found dead in a cabinet, Sir James Eagle has his servant Weeks immediately arrested as the killer. But Mitch’s observant eye pegs more plausible possibilities: polysexual chauffeur Hibbert, queenly pervert Leonard Eagle, missing scion Rex, sadistic copper Kennington, even Sir James Eagle himself. Blackmail, police corruption, a dizzying network of spyholes and secret passages, watersports, and a nonstop queer orgy backstairs and everyplace else mark this hilariously hard-core mystery by a major new talent.

Hot and hilarious.
I laughed out loud more than once reading this. The writing is witty, the sex is fairly filthy (and described crudely enough that it might put some readers off) and the characters are appealingly human. I really wish the author's other books would...

Excellent comical mystery!
Our young American hero, a guest at an English country manor, has two passions in life: other men, and detective novels. Imagine his delight when someone discovers a dead body (right in the opening scene). A servant gets arrested for murder,...

Complex emotions
The main character in the book is constantly self evaluating himself throught the story. The reader must engage and become part of this evaluation and emotion so you will have work to do when reading this book. Not the casual entertainment but put...

Quite a satisfying read
Back Passage's tongue-in-cheek, irreverent humor and hot man to man encounters definitely makes it a worthwhile read. I have been recently inundated with very dull and predictable gay fiction so I wasn't exactly expecting too much when I...

Average sex, bad book
This is the first time I buy a book that is kindda like a softcore porn movie, in book; and I can say I will never do it again. The book promised to have a "detective story" that would keep the plot move, but such story is so unbelievably sloppy...

No, it's the Granta !
Yes, it's entertaining and yes it's arousing and thus fulfils its own brief. But ... oh dear Mr Lear, on page TWO you identify the river that flows through Cambridge as the Isis. It isn't. The Isis flows through Oxford. The "old" name of...

Slightly spacey writing
A light reading book, subjects and clues well placed, but not the most gripping language. The author has written better books, perhaps he needed a little more time to tune this one up.

Lots of Erotica but I Missed the Hilarity
The erotic sections are well written and read like I would imagine period erotica would read-- the erotic books I have are either Victorian The Pearl or Delta of Venus 1940's so I actually haven't read any pre World War II erotica.
