It’s all fun and games until someone leaves a dead body on the floor.

Life for comic book store owner Alex Martin usually runs to the mundane. Sure, he has a regular influx of geeks and freaks, but for the most part, it’s a familiar weird. That all changes when he opens up Planet X Comics one morning and finds a corpse in the middle of his shop.

When Detective James Castillo is called in to investigate, Alex is torn between wanting to climb the man like a tree and giving him a wide berth. Luckily for Alex, the handsome detective is just as interested in him—as a suspect in the murder.

Previously published in Grand Adventures by Dreamspinner Press, March 2014.

4 Stars!

A quick and easy read taking place in the Murder and Mayhem verse. This one is about Alex, Rook’s Cousin and James, a Detective investigating the murder case Alex has stumbled into. I don’t really want to delve into the story too much because it would be too easy to spoil things with it only being a little over 30 pages, what I will say is that if you are a fan of Rhys Ford and the Murder and Mayhem books, I think you’ll really want to read Cops and Comix.

It’s both sexy and sweet, funny and entertaining. Of course, it’s rounded out with great banter and lovable character in true Rhys Ford fashion. I just wished it were a bit longer, I could’ve used more of these two men. 

I definitely recommend!

This book is super short only like 40 pages or so. But it was really cute. I enjoyed reading it and I really liked the characters. The ending was a little abrupt and open-ended so I am not quite sure how that will factor into the “series” this book belongs to, but hopefully that means we will get to see more of these two (I have yet to read the Murder and Mayhem series, so don’t hold that against me. Lol).

Alex was adorably geeky with his own comic shop, and James was his perfect opposite match being a Homicide detective. It was super weird that dead bodies kept showing up around Alex, but perfect that James was there to make sure he was ok with everything that kept happening. The two guys had great chemistry together for it being such a short book. I really just wanted more of these two. I will be adding this full series to my To-Read list.
