The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks

By Josh Lanyon

His romantic weekend in ruins, shy twenty-something artist Perry Foster learns that things can always get worse when he returns home from San Francisco to find a dead body in his bathtub. A dead body in a very ugly sportscoat -- and matching socks.

The dead man is a stranger to Perry, but that's not much of a comfort; how did a strange dead man get in a locked flat at the isolated Alton Estate in the wilds of the "Northeast Kingdom" of Vermont? Perry turns to help from "tall, dark and hostile" former navy SEAL Nick Reno -- but is Reno all that he seems?

A Good LGBTQ Mystery!

I've read several of Josh Lanyon's LGBTQ mysteries and have enjoyed every one of them. Josh (which is a pen name for the straight married woman who writes gay fiction) is an amazing author. The Ghost Who Wore Yellow Socks immediately brings you into the mystery with a 23-year-old gay artist named Perry, returning 1 week early from a trip to his apartment in a boarding house, only to find a corpse in his bathtub. The mystery deepens when the body disappears after he flees for help. The characters are interesting, particularly Nick, an ex-Navy Seal who lives on another floor. The boarding house is filled with eccentric characters, each with their own strange background stories. Plus, there is some romance. It will keep you reading. 5 Stars!
