I'm in love with Cole McGinnis. That is all I have to say. I got late to the McGinnis train and am now inhaling these like much needed oxygen. I'll admit that the mysteries in these books are like in the best detective stories incidental. Sure they set in motion our PI's actions but it's merely a way to delve into the ways and mores of a set of characters and I must say I'm loving it. We are once again in the company the upper crust Korean families who seem to make California part of their backyard and bring with them deep closets filled with “shameful” secrets ... mostly about sex. Our Cole is once again surrounded by bloodshed and mayhem while investigating a long ago disappearance as a favor to the glamorous Scarlett.Cases aside to me the real theme or subject matter of this series is the families we create in the absence of those we were born with. Cole has his brother Mike and his kick-ass sister in-law Maddie, but he's also been blessed with Bobby and the wonderful Claudia and her brood. There was a scene involving Claudia where like Cole I almost lost it, particularly since I've been doing these in audio (because [a:Greg Tremblay 8108759 Greg Tremblay https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1484561919p2/8108759.jpg]) that I don't want to repeat. Cole has had terrible losses: his lover, his partner, and two assholes for parents but he has this new family and he hopes of Jae too ... but Jae ... he can't make the leap and I must confess to sometimes wanting to slap him and tell him he should count his lucky stars to have met Cole. However in this book we and Cole do see what Jae is risking to lose. And he does come thru for Cole when he needs him so he's forgiven. For now.[a:Rhys Ford 4968409 Rhys Ford https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1308678470p2/4968409.jpg] has created a great character full of humor, flaws and doubts yet nevertheless heroic in the true sense of the word.
