Review by Richard Labonte

Devil's Bridge, by Greg Lilly (Regal Crest, $14.95, 9781932300789)

Regal Crest is better known for its lesbian fiction; I hope prospective male readers look past the "women's/gay" designation on the back cover. This is definitely a book for both women and gay men - though gay women and straight men will find a lot of value, entertainment and otherwise, to it. Lilly's nuanced tale of the friendship between a gay man and his best gal friend is taut and polished; gay men will identify with Topher's need for a change in life after too many boyfriend disappointments, and Myra's desperate need to get away from an abusive husband is heart-poundingly realistic. This is a solid novel about how integral emotional freedom is in life.

 

The BUZZ on Greg Lilly's books:

"And yet another of his strengths is his pacing. Lilly's novels are beautifully crafted. They don't meander; they don't slow down. He writes one scene that builds upon the scene before it with elegant timing and exquisite architecture."

-- Rochelle Brener, Kudos Entertainment Weekly

 

"Compulsively readable...Lilly has a knack for making you fall in love with his characters and turning the pages to find out what happens to them next."

--Rick R. Reed, author of IM and In the Blood

 

"Derek Mason, gay outcast of the Charlotte, North Carolina, Harris clan, flies back from San Francisco to attend the funeral of his beloved Aunt Walterene. Traveling or not, Southerners always carry excess baggage...

...All this [family baggage] leaves Derek little time for romance and murder, but he encounters hot sex with a hunky new boyfriend, and cold chills from his would-be killers, proving that you can go home again—at your peril."

-- Lavender, Minnesota's GLBT Magazine

 

"From page one, Fingering the Family Jewels is a thoroughly engaging read. Lilly leads the reader right smack into the thick of the plot and doesn’t let up until the last page. I anxiously await the second installment in this new mystery series by Greg Lilly."

-- Betty Conley, The Independent Gay Writer

 

"Fingering the Family Jewels is a captivating, sexy, fast-paced and extremely creative mystery, exposing how greed and misplaced family loyalties can result in a pattern of lies, deceit, incest and possibly murder. Author Greg Lilly hits a home-run with this intelligent, sensitive and highly engrossing masterpiece. Much recommended, definitely a full 5 stars out of 5!"

-- OURBOOKSHELF@Yahoo.com

 

"In Fingering the Family Jewels, Greg Lilly weaves a tale of Southern intrigue full of surprising twists and turns anchored by an immediately likable gay protagonist, Derek Mason. Hopefully, it's the first installment in what promises to be a successful series of mystery tales."

-- Michael Holloway Perronne, author of "A Time Before Me"

 

"Lilly tells this story with grace and sensitivity. From start to finish, this reader was thoroughly engrossed - engrossed to the exclusion of all else, as the story moved inexorably to its conclusion."

-- Rochelle Brener, Kudos Entertainment Weekly
