By the end of the book I was more interest in where the next simile was going to fall then where the plot was going.

This meandering story is told through Mark Winslow a gay man vacationing in Provincetown. Mark has given up his main career and had decided to bring his improve group to P-town for the summer to see if they have what it takes to break into the club circuit. But the peace and quiet are quickly broken when a dog is found murders on the mailbox of a wealthy man, a group of curious Scandinavian’s tourist, who look more like panhandlers take over the town and Mark finds out more about his past then he bargained for.

Add in the death of another high profile community leader and a painting that tells a story of it’s own and you have a book that wanders in too many directions at one time with a rather anticlimactic ending. If it wasn’t for the last 20 or so pages where the author recaps the whole thing I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what this book was supposed to be about.

Can’t recommend this one; maybe next time if he can figure out the one or two plotlines that he wants to stick with.
