Someone Killed His Boyfriend: A Summer of Sex, Sun and Murder in Provincetown

It would be hard to imagine a giddier good time than this campy first novel set in the gay meccas of New York and Provincetown, Massachusetts. When Robert, a single "good guy," hears that his wealthy, gorgeous, and sexually voracious friend Michael has finally met the man of his dreams, he can't believe it's true. Michael, after all, is a man whose bathroom towels read "His" and "Next." Despite his doubts and envy, Robert promises to help his friend plan the most sparkling, expensive wedding that Manhattan queerdom has ever seen. Fifteen hundred guests arrive in everything from Armani to complete drag. When it's Max, the chosen one, who leaves Michael at the altar, all hell breaks loose in the quiet world of Robert and his friends. And when Max is later found dead, the suspects seem all too obvious. A very funny mystery, full of pointless and amusing gags, Someone Killed His Boyfriend may be the perfect weekend read, like having a group of loud, clever friends that you can put away on the shelf when they get under your skin. --Regina Marler
