BLURB:
Murder is in the eye of the beholder. In this M/M nod to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Rear Window, Heston is a writer who spends most of his life alone in his own little world. One spring day he pulls up his window shades and sees more than he ever imagined.
The gorgeous and younger Icarus wants Heston to commit to love. To prove himself, he ends up trying to solve a murder without either of them becoming the next victim. A peek into a stranger’s life can turn from sexy to deadly in the blink of an eye. What you see isn’t always what you get.
REVIEW:
Another thriller hit from Matt! I don’t remember if I’ve seen the Rear Window, and if I have, it’s been many years. So I don’t really remember. I know Hitchcock, though, and his stuff is amazing. I love how Matt turned this book out. Suspenseful and scary.
Heston was enjoying the view from his window. He knew he needed to get out more, but the view he was getting lately was worth it. At least until the neighbor closed the blinds when it was getting good. But something was a little off about this guy. At least for Heston. Maybe it was because Heston didn’t like rough play in the bedroom. But the more he watches, the more he notices things are odder. He tells his boyfriend, Icarus, about what his suspicions are and Icarus decides to investigate. They almost get caught, and the neighbor knows something is up. Heston and Icarus aren’t sure whether to call the police on a suspicion, but they don’t realize how at risk their lives are. Hopefully, they make the right decision before they are caught or killed.
Being a writer, Heston already has a vivid imagination. Having scary dreams about a murderer isn’t helping. And with a neighbor he’s afraid is a murderer, triple time scary. And when Icarus goes to snoop in the guy’s apartment?? I can’t even explain the feeling there lol. Stupid comes to mind. I understand they didn’t think they had evidence. Knowing how the law is, they can’t investigate someone on a whim. But when his worst fears come to life, everything comes to a sharp point about his life.
This is a really good suspense/thriller. Matt does a great job with them. He got in a little mindf@$k at the end, though. I wonder how many will notice it. Being with someone and making them your boyfriend is great, but not knowing certain things……makes me suspicious lol.
