Deadly Mystery
review 1: Stanley &Tom are back in the 5th in the Deadly series...In this mystery, the two are hired by Patience Pendleton who insists that someone is trying to kill her father while he is a patient at a lavish nursing home.The nursing home and her father insist it was an accident (the fault of a nurse who administer too much insulin) .The list of suspects grow as another accident happens to the father, including drug addicted and unhinged twin sister of Patience, Prudence, a brother named Zack who is gay and the father has threaten on numerous occasions to disinherit,and Prudence boyfriend Farley.The mystery is pretty good, but the true meat of the story is the relationship of Stanley and Tom.Tom is truly a good, guy he loves Stanley and is in the relationship for the long haul.Sta... morenley on the other hand is antsy, he knows he loves Tom, but he misses his care -free youth...Stanley in this mystery makes me hate him.Chris (friend of both men) suggest that Stanley is never happy with what he has.He chased after Tom, and now that he has him, he wants something else.Stanley is a true jerk and doesn't deserve Tom, another reviewer suggested that it would serve Stanley right if Tom left him for Chris....I agree.I won't say what happens to resolve this romantic hitch in the road...I 'll just say, fasten your seatbelts, it's. gonna be a bumpy ride!
review 2: I've read the reviews and just had to see what Stanley's problem was. I'm guessing what I read was the birth of a real relationship and not the fantasy hereafter. Here are two guys who have never been in any serious relationship before and have found out love and great sex is just not enough. The reality, every long term relationship has its ups and downs. I've heard a saying that goes like this. "And the two shall become one" The question is which "one"? Stanley, I see was struggling with that one. As for friends, sometimes just listening and showing support are the best that one can offer. Chris was not a very good friend. Looks like he had his own agenda.Hope to read more Mr. Banis : ) less
