A new personal favourite
16 giugno 2011
Di John Corcoran

I enjoy Josh Lanyon's writing: he always tells an engaging story with wit and charm with a special ability to create characters we enjoy. But Come Unto These Yellow Sands really is Lanyon 2.0. This book works on so many levels. It's beautifully written and intelligent; Lanyon makes five words do the work of dozens. Main characters are carefully drawn and engaging: nothing about them is "canned" or cliche. Other reviewers have described the story with more eloquence than I could muster, but it's as honed as the craft of the book. It's all wave and no flotsam.
I found it an enormously satisfying read, but the best reason for buying it is that I suspect it will re-read even better.

Enjoyable on so many levels

I think this novella is my new absolute favorite of Lanyon's stand alone works. It is so masterfully done and it works on so many levels. The other reviewers already described plot in great details, so I will not go in there either, I will just say that both Swift and Max are quite flawed people, but Lanyon's superb writing never let me feel anything but sympathy for both of them. I really enjoyed the chemistry between them and while mystery was certainly important for the plot, heck it was the plot, I felt that romance was just as important and unravelling of mystery highlighted not just flaws that both guys had, but also their best qualities. And I never doubted for a second that they are better together than apart.

Another Fantastic Story by Lanyon!

"I've never hid my love for Lanyon's writing and I'm not going to do so now. Some are less intriguing than others, most notably the "Dangerous Ground" series which I enjoy but there's something about Lanyon's writing voice in mysteries that does it for me. Wordgasms.
Josh doesn't disappoint with "Come Unto These Yellow Sands".
There IS a formula to Lanyon's mysteries. Usually the one of the male leads is hindered in some way, either physically or emotionally and he is coupled with a stronger, authoritative figure. For most writers, this would be a cliched trope but bhis formula works because Lanyon makes it work. The compromised male lead is complex and his "issue" varies...with Lanyon working those issues into the storyline.
In CUTYS, Sebastian Swift is not just the "Fall Down and Go Boom Bad Boy" of the literary circuit, he is still a recovering addict and Lanyon addresses it within the book (albeit mildly). His lover, Max Prescott, is a cop that Swift half-lies to about a murder... and Swift ends up paying for that hiding of the truth with the damage it does to his relationship with Prescott.
I enjoyed the mystery but I also enjoy the dual plotline of Swift's exploration of his relationship and his fall from grace. THAT is what Lanyon does best... run two or sometimes three plots within a book and does so gracefully and with fantastic pacing.
I highly recommend this book. It's on the re-read for me.

Youth is like spring, an over-praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.
