The lead character is this series is believable, and makes the book worth reading. Beyond that, watch out. Too many characters, the situations too grand and dramatic. Sometimes simpler is better. It never hurts to have characters with personal concerns, characters who are like someone you know. Leave the complex plotting to other, fancier writers.

Murder on Camac is a good if not great debut
Murder On Camac
I?m hopeful and looking forward to more books from Joseph R.G. DeMarco about Marco Fontana. Once the story got going, it was fun, interesting, entertaining, with a touch of tasteful sexy romance, and hard to put down while trying to figure out who the killer is.
Marco is hired by an ex-priest Hollister, to find out who murdered his partner Helmut. The media and detective Gina Giuliani only see it as just another mugging, involving another homosexual. So, who cares, right? They have more important and higher priority cases to work on. Hollister insists that Helmut?s death was a murder, because he was working on a book that would name those behind the murder conspiracy of Pope John Paul the First. The Catholic Church?s views on homosexuality, its tarnished reputation with young boys, and its ability to keep their embarrassing secrets hidden do not make this an easy task for Marco.
Another author Quinn, was working on the same material, and claims that Helmut stole it from him. But, is that enough motive to commit murder? Along with his P.I. work, Marco also owns and operates the side business, StripGuyz at the club Bubbles. These performers can be just as catty as some drag queens, if not worse. StripGuyz? manager Anton, is Marco?s love interest, but Anton will not take him seriously until Marco is ready to commit. Marco struggles with the idea of being monogamous and happy. He breaks one the top rules for a P.I. Marco falls in love with one of the informants in his murder case, while weighing his options with Anton too. He?s a young priest who works in the Archdiocesan headquarters in Philadelphia, Kusek.
The lack of clues in this case and word of mouth will take Marco to some dark places like Stella, to murdered young men who know who shot Helmut, and all the way back to Rome. How can he find love, solve the case, and stay alive, while not losing a bet that could end up with him naked on the performing stage at Bubbles?
