REC: Josh Lanyon books

Thanks to my Nook, and the ability to immediately download the books I want, I just read the entire Adrien English mystery series by Josh Lanyon. Not satisfied, I then read another Josh Lanyon title, Fair Game. I will soon begin reading even more of his books, and I recommend that you read his books too.

I love reading mysteries, and the idea of reading mysteries with a m/m romance was a definite plus, but I wouldn't have read past the first book if I hadn't loved it.

One aspect I loved about the five book Adrien English series is that as much as they are mysteries--and the mysteries do keep you turning the pages--the series is also about the development of Adrien's relationship(s) with his lover(s). (I'm going to try to be vague enough not to spoil anything.)

I recently read somewhere--I can't remember where--that the key to good stories is that the main characters have to change enough to deserve the rewards they get at the end, that they became capable of gaining the rewards at the end. That's what Josh Lanyon does over the course of the series with his protaganist, Adrien English, and with Adrien's lover(s).
