The Boy with the Painful Tattoo by Josh Lanyon

Summary:
It's moving day at Chez Holmes. Somehow, against Kit's better instincts, he and J.X. are setting up house together. But while J.X. is off at a writing conference, Kit unpacks a crate that should contain either old books or new china. It doesn't. Within the mounds of green Styrofoam popcorn is a dead body. A very dead body.

There goes the neighborhood.




Not only does Kit have to deal with moving in with his boyfriend, JX but now he's dealing with a dead body and way too much intrigue that goes along with said body.  On top of that, he seems to have acquired a stalker.  How will he deal with it and which will bring him more stress, the dead body, the stalker, or the live-in lover?  I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of JX's ex-wife but I love how Kit deals with the nephew, Gage.  I applaud his attempt to deal with the ex, she doesn't make it easy or even really make an effort but Kit does, which is actually very "un-Kit" of him.
Once again, Mr. Lanyon has not disappointed his readers, definitely not this reader. So when can we expect #4? (hint, hint-hope, hope)  I really enjoyed the cameo appearance of another of Josh Lanyon's star amateur detectives, Adrien English and his boyfriend Jake Riordan and Adrien's bookstore Cloak and Dagger.
