I love the way that Jonty and Orlando's relationship has evolved. I started reading the series because I'm a fan of murder mystery but then I fell in love with the lads and I was lost! The talented Ms. Cochrane has created characters so real that once you know them you can't leave them. <br />I'm anxiously waiting for the next book.
