Description
A Stan Kraychik Mystery, Book 6 - Newly wealthy psychologist-by-training, hairstylist-by-experience Stan Kraychik buys the last unrenovated brownstone in Boston's fabulously chic South End only to have the renovations held up by a freak April snowstorm - and the murder of the young, attractive contractor inside his structurally unsound brownstone.
Because the contractor resembled Stan, Lt. Vito Branco of the Boston Police Department thinks Stan might have been the intended target. While Branco wants Stan to leave town while he investigates the murder, Stan has ideas of his own. Looking into the death, Stan discovers that underneath the well-kept facade of his glamorous neighborhood lies a web of ill-kept secrets, jealousies, and resentments. In the midst of all of it is something that motivated someone to murder, and Stan must find out who - and what - before the murderer strikes again.
A Lambda Literary Awards Finalist in 1998, this new edition includes a foreword by Graeme Cheater.
Critical Praise for Grant Michaels
"A Body to Dye For is a delightful debut with a gay hairdresser-investigator who gets his fingers into a lot more things than hair. It's a promising start to what looks to be a successful series." - George Baxt, The Dorothy Parker Murder Case
"The one-liners fly as fast as the bullets and there is a surprise in nearly every chapter. Love You to Death is an engaging murder mystery that epitomizes the best of the genre." - The Advocate
"Dead on Your Feet is a first-rate mystery with an Agatha Christie lineup of very possible suspects and Stan Kraychik playing a terrific Poirot." - San Francisco Chronicle
"For Mask for a Diva, the opera setting, with its hilariously precise caste system of attitudes toward homosexuality, is as ripe for Michaels as it was for the Marx Brothers - and the finale even squeezes in a little bit of them too." - Kirkus Reviews
"In Time to Check Out, Kraychik tracks his suspect to a hurricane-tossed tourist boat and finally sorts out the details of a breezy whodunit." - Publishers Weekly
