The location, practically deserted due to the change of season, the quick turn over of drivers, Anton's art, and the nature of Mr White's illness all added to the unsettling backdrop. The romance plays second fiddle to the spooky nature of the thriller part of the story. I loved Ray and his easy acceptance of Anton. The epilogue was lovely. The audio was under 4 hours and the narrator did a great performance. Great atmospheric tale.

HTML: Does everyone have a certain "type" they end up with...whether they want to or not? If Ray Carlucci's ex is anything to go by, Ray likes his men gorgeous, rebellious, and chock-full of issues. But now that Ray is single again, he has a shot at a fresh start—a very fresh start, since his tattoo shop was gutted by repo men and he can fit all his belongings in the trunk of a taxi. Ray's shiny new chauffeur's license lands him a job as a driver for an elderly couple on Red Wing Island. It's a cold fall, and since the Michigan island is the summer home to snowbirds who fly south for the winter, it's practically deserted—save for Ray's new household and a sculptor named Anton Kopec, who works day and night twisting brambles and twine into the distorted shapes of macabre creatures. Compelling, bizarre, and somewhat disturbing...not just the sculptures, but the artist, too. Ray has a feeling Anton is just his "type." Despite their scorching chemistry, when a dead body is unearthed by some workers and a freak ice storm traps them all on the island, Ray can't say for certain that his new flame isn't capable of murder. .No library descriptions found. |

Nice short piece highlighting Price's strengths and weaknesses: characters with interesting quirks and suggested depth, decent erotic writing, rushed endings. ( )
