Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

While his lover Peter attends a class reunion, narrator Alex, watches a porn flick. When he recognizes his former college lover, he decides the guy must need help, arranges a meeting, then finds the man murdered. Alex's British mother appears out of nowhere to help him fend off the police, but a subsequent murder forces them to reveal their sometime CIA status (see Government Gay, St. Martin's, 1997). So Alex, Peter, and mom investigate, learning more than they needed to know about the porn industry. Despite the rather feeble plot, the salacious subject matter and mom provide comic relief, albeit without much finesse. A marginal purchase.

Review

"An absolutely delightful whodunit! Hunter creates a cast of characters we'll want to visit again and again. "Government Gay "is a welcome addition to the growing ranks of gay sleuths!" --"Ellen Hart, author of Wicked Games"
"Murder and mayhem full of delicious wit and dialogue. In addition to the CIA, the fast-paced action involves the FBI, the Mob, and the druggy world of the exploitative gay porn industry. Rounded out with movie references aplenty and the presence of the delightfully fey Jean, this should please lots of readers." --"Booklist"
"Quick paced...filled with action...a very enjoyable and worthwhile read." --"Our Own"

5.0étoiles sur 5 A lighthearted, enjoyable must-read, Mai 15 2000
I really love Hunter's Alex Reynolds books because they are so entirely unique. They blow-apart stereotypes and everything we've come to expect in the gay-mystery sub-genre: the leading character, Alex Reynolds and his partner Peter, are deeply in love and committed, and Alex's mother is a wonderful and inspired addition. It's a relief to read a series in which the characters are not constantly whining about the plight of being gay, and where the stories don't necessarily revolve around gay issues, even though that does enter into it a bit. Unlike many gay mystery series, you get the feeling that these guys have lives outside their sexuality.

Federal Fag is a welcome addition to the series, as Alex and his family try to discover who killed a porn star-former friend of Alex's. I found myself laughing out loud over and over again (especially when Alex's mother shows up for the first time). Hunter hits just the right balance between the humor, which is first rate, and the mystery, which is a well-thought-out, constant source of surprise.

If you like more than a little humor with your mystery, you'll love it. This is a wonderful book!

This review is from: Federal Fag (Hardcover)
Yahoo! Jean is back! Yes, the fiesty, funny star of the Alex Reynold's series returns for another set of wacky and wild adventures centered around rescuing her apparently totally helpless son Alex (and his equally helpless husband, Peter). If you loved Jean in GOVERNMENT GAY, you get twice as much of her in FEDERAL FAG. And what's not to love? Of course, if for some reason you were hoping book two of the Alex Reynold's series might center more on Alex and Peter (they even LIVE with Mom), might have a little more spice and less sugar, might develop and expand what is a sorta interesting plot...uh,keep hoping. Hunter seems set on playing to every stereotype of a gay man. He goes for straight laughs (pun intended) and doesn't bother breaking it up with any tension or excitement. I like a good joke as much as the next guy, but this one is wearing thin. THE ADVENTURES OF ME MUM is not what I was looking for when I opened this book. Give Jean her own series, Fred!
