Here is the first paragraph of the description of Rehearsed To Death:
"Hart to Hart via HGTV, this fabulous new quozy (queer cozy) mystery series by award-winning author and playwright Frank Anthony Polito’s features a gay couple who solve crimes while renovating houses in suburban Detroit as part of their hit reality show Domestic Partners. Now, their foray into community theater proves a major risk thanks to some deadly improvisation . . ."
When I was a wee lass, I LOVED Hart to Hart, the best detectives on TV! So it's no wonder I enjoy this new series by Mr. Polito. This is the second book in his series, and it's rare in two ways. 1. Instead of one amateur slueth we have an engaged couple--fun! I like having a couple instead of someone all on their own. 2. The couple in question is gay, there aren't very many cozy mysteries that have gay characters.
In this book, the action and drama takes place on and off the stage as PJ's play Blue Tuesday is being produced and JP is the male lead. I really enjoyed that in book one the focus was on their HDTV show and now in this book we have a focus on the play and the theater, a change of venue, really fun.
The story is told from PJ's point of view, almost as if we are reading his diary and I like this style. If you read this book, keep in mind that this is going to be filled with humor alongside the more serious themes of murder and whatnot!
