In the two novellas that make up the third book in the popular Boystown Mysteries private Investigator Nick Nowak works two challenging cases and grapples with an even more challenging personal life. In Little Boy Boom, Nick’s car explodes when a thief attempts to steal it. Realizing the bomb was meant for him, Nick sets out to discover who wants him dead only to find that the list of possible suspects is longer than he’d like. When he begins to run out of suspects he wonders if the bomb was truly meant for him. Little Boy Tenor finds Nick investigating the murderer of a church choir’s star tenor, while at the same time his friend Ross asks him to discover the truth behind his lover, Earl Silver’s mysterious death. As he juggles the two cases, he becomes increasingly disturbed by what he learns.

Book three was over the top for me as a poorly written book. A disappointment. Nick, as a believable character, lost it in book three. The trajectory of the plot is fueled and maintained by Nick' sex scenes. The mystery it's self becomes only a vehicle for them. Otherwise it is secondary.The introduction of the Aides epidemic was an important element and a good one to bring in. Seemingly, Hackert has Aides and is being slowly and monstrously consumed by it month by month. Nick sometimes notices that Hackert should not be totally debilitated for six plus months, but does nothing but make a mental note of it and then goes on to other sexual encounters. Nick Never converses with him about the symptoms being seriously wrong. Emergency room wrong. Never says your illness doesn't make sense (which doesn't make sense in it's self). It's scary and something needs to be done to get you better. The author writes it so it is ignored
What makes sense is Hacker's illness has to be treated, by the author, as " the silent unknown illness" of Aides coming into the community at that time. It would spoil a plot line if Hackert were to have any kind of medical diagnosis, or even a conversation to bring up the "elephant in the room". You're unbelievably ill and we're all ignoring it for six months. The author handled this detrimentally to the believability of his readers. Why it was handled this way is absurd. Nick's role here is not believable except if he is supposed to be read as a stereo typical gay male of that time period whose life is only a series of sexual encounters. Do nothing for the man living in your apartment whose steady decline is so obvious to the reader. Yet in the last paragraph of the book....Nick professes his love for Hackert. He now realizes Hackert is his lover. Trite. Comes to late. Not believable except Nick can be with him when he dies in the next book. A story line in book 4 where Aides can be openly part of a plot line. But as a reader, I don't buy it. As a character, Nick is not believable due to the author's story thread choices in book 3. Well except for one, he drives the sex scenes and does them well. That is the basis of the books. The series ends here for me. It is not enough.

Boystown 3 Two Nick Nowak Novellas Boystown Mysteries edition by Marshall Thornton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Read it with a map of the Chicago transit system as I did. They are available on line from Transit authority.
Great series.. I love Nick! The characters from prior stories appear so it it best to read them in order. Great writing!
It was pretty good but way to short. At less than 200 pages it was expensive at around $14.00. Really not sure that I'm would read any more of his books.
I enjoy the characters and the storylines. Even if I am not gay I still enjoy these books. I feel and emotional connection to the stories
I rarely write reviews. I do so only when I think the book is terrific and want the author to know how much I’ve enjoyed their writing. This was yet another in the series that I just could not put the damn thing down. You know when an author has you hooked it's when you begin to question the life choices of a fictional character in a book. Well done Mr. Thornton.
Detv. NOWAK LIFE from Bk1 thru Bk7 is a painful at time read. Mr. THORNTON;
I was not blessed 2envision WORDS in my head onto paper. I constantly want
NICK 2find HIS HAPPY ever AFTER PARTNER though 2 1/2decades B4
the 21st century catches up 2 peeps still trying to figure out how 2GAY & B
themselves.
These mysteries keep getting better. The writing is wonderful, precise and evocative, the mysteries good. There are several things that stood out for me in this one first, the subtle changes in Nick, who usually represses thoughts and feelings he finds difficult, but this time, he has no choice but to start facing some of what's going on in his life - Daniel, Harker, Harker's mom, Ross; second, Harker's mother has become a favorite character, and her relationship with Nick, rendered in just a few words, is a window into both their characters; third, Chicago in the 1980s, it's terrifying to observe that time and people's reactions, seen through Nick's eyes and knowing what we know now - a very powerful and thought provoking combination.
