A Book & Page, Nottinghill Lane Mystery, Book One

By: Guy Veryzer

Narrated by: Guy Veryzer

A fun, gay romantic romp, within a cozy mystery setting: When Jack moves into the vintage carriage house he inherits, he has no idea that his book-dealer uncle’s suicide might have been murder: not until a handsome detective comes knocking at his door to ask questions, where the powerful attraction between the two young men leads to much more than just a murder investigation. Nottinghill Lane is situated in a beautiful old neighborhood in a charming small town on Rainbow Lake. The lane is a cul-de-sac inhabited by interesting historic homes and eccentric characters, a literary enclave where everyone has a devotion to a favorite author. But can books lead to murder?

Clever Names - Clever Premise

I’d hoped for more from the description of this Audible audiobook. It’s hard to pinpoint what disappoints, but ‘The Naked Detective’, book one in the Book & Page Nottinghill Lane Mystery Series, just didn’t work for me.

The characters were, for the most part, charming and cleverly written. The narrative by the book’s author, was well done with tonal inflections ideal for each character. ‘The Watcher’ was intriguingly mysterious.

I will try one more book in the series in the hope that it gets better as even more transpires between Detective Mike Book and artist Jack Page.

Love the Mystery and the love of these two men!

Spanning a hundred years of mystery to unlock a secret garden and the murder within, the two gay charmers from Book One - The Naked Detective learn more about Jack’s inheritance of an artist’s studio carriage house in the small lakeside town of Bluewater, Michigan... aided by all the lovable eccentrics of the Nottinghill Lane Book Club.

Wonderful mystery!

It has been awhile since I've read a good mystery. Mike and Jack were the most normal in the whole little neighborhood. These people were so funny. I loved the playfulness from the beginning between Jack and Mike. The author does a great job with the narration. If you like mysteries with charming eccentric characters that make you smile, this is one you should enjoy.
