Summary

A match made in heaven - but the honeymoon from hell.

Plumber Tom Paretski and his newly wedded husband, PI Phil Morrison, plan to enjoy their honeymoon in Italy to the full. It should be the start of a wonderful future together. But when Wayne - Phil’s ex-best mate and Tom’s former bully - turns up unexpectedly at their hotel, issues from their schooldays threaten to derail the fun. Tom may no longer bear a grudge against Phil for past injuries, but Wayne’s another matter - or is he?

Wayne seems determined to make friends, but Tom’s struggling to forgive and forget. To add to his confusion, cryptic messages from home spark the question: Are he and Phil really as in tune as he thought? Tom’s not the first man Phil made a commitment to, and that marriage turned sour sooner rather than later.

It shouldn’t surprise them when death explodes onto the scene in shocking fashion, and their honeymoon turns into a murder investigation. When the group of locals Wayne had been meeting with turn their attention to Tom’s psychic abilities, he and Phil will need to pull together to figure out what’s going on - or risk this trip being the last they’ll ever take.

Enjoyable Story

The story premise is good and the characters are likeable. The narration was good though not to my taste.

My favourite plumber

Tom Paretski is my favourite psychic plumber. This is the first time I’ve heard him voiced having read the e versions of the previous books. Written by an Englishwoman they capture the essence of the south east where they are set. Having married, Phil, he finds their honeymoon in Italy derailed by what may or may not be the murder of one of his old fellow pupils. They’re not far from Naples so of course the local mafiosi but in an appearance. This is a well crafted murder mystery of the old school.
The narrator did a good job although at the beginning I wasn’t too sure about him. However, I warmed to him and I was impressed with the way he handled the women’s voices.
You will enjoy this book more if you have read the others in the series but I highly recommend it if you like gay, psychic plumbers with a limp and hunky, blond private detectives
