Book Review: Convincing
Summary: 5 Stars
Henry Rios is in his early thirties. a lawyer and successful Public Defender, but he has reached a crisis point in his life, he is considered by some to be burned, but his life is about to take a new direction, his latest case is to be the catalyst for the change.
Henry, who is openly gay, is called to defend the handsome young Hugh Paris, a gay man on relatively minor charges. As it turns out Henry's services are not required, but that is not the end of his association with Hugh. As a result he not only finds himself emotionally involved with Hugh, but soon find himself compelled to investigate in a multiple murder mystery which nobody wants to get involved in, and up against some very wealthy and influential people.
The Little Death, the first in a series of Henry Rios novels, is a well written and carefully constructed mystery made all the more appealing through the creation of the openly gay and thoroughly convincing lead character Henry Rios, a caring man with strong moral principles, and a man looking for that someone special with whom to share his life.
A very successful lawyer himself, and once considered for the a United States Supreme Court seat, Michael Nava's second book in the series is Golden Boy, which is now a must read!
