" This really rates about an A-. An excellent read. "
" Solid thriller that brings in GLBT issues. In spite of that, I didn't feel that this effort was as good as most of her others. It seemed very procedural and the peek into the characters' lives I've come to expect seemed rushed and forced. All in all, still a good read, but if you haven't read Ms. Sellers before, I would recommend starting with any one of her other novels. "
" Dont remember much! "
" Awesome book...! I will review this one next... "
" Excellent mystery, detective story. Keeps you wanting to read the next chapter. Hard to put down. "
" Good plot, decent characters, but I kept feeling it could have been much better. Not as nuanced as Lehane or other crime authors, worth reading, but not if you have other, important things to read. "
" Meh... The idea behind this was good, but overall the book was slow and full of random stuff that had no place there. Also, I figured out who dun it before the halfway point. The mystery was barely mediocre. "
" Was definitely book two in the series. Great story line. At the very end, I thought I was going to get the answer to the cliffhanger in book one...nope...on to book three!!! "
" This was the first Detective Jackson Mystery I read, and I can't wait to read the rest of them! Great book! "
" I loved this book. The plot was written exceptionally well and the characters were believable. I enjoyed this book much more than The Sex Club and I look forward to reading the third book in the series. "
" Very good storyline! I think L.J. Sellers is going to be a new favorite author. "
" Set in Eugene, Oregon, a nice easy read. "
" Well written murder mystery featuring detective Wade Jackson. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more in the series. "
" The story line was ok but it seemed to jump from idea to idea without a lot of planning. "
" Plot was decent. Didn't really think the Detective Jackson character was developed. Most of it seemed formulaic. Would try another just because so many people gave it 4 stars...maybe it was just me. Had potential, just missed the mark. "
" WOW! Awesome whodunit! Great plot that kept me wanting more. Read this in less than a day as I was addicted. "
" Very good writing :) "
" Secrets to Die For is a great mystery that was enjoyable to read. It takes gay phobia to a whole new level from phobia in a family to phobia of gay strangers. The twist at the end was a bit unexpected and sad. "
" Loved it! Exciting read with a suprise ending! "
" I like this author. This book was based on a series of hate crimes. A scary but real thing that could happen. As with her first book, there was a twist at the end. I like the main characters, and will read more by this author. "
