Dead on Your Feet: A Mystery

by Grant Michaels

Book Overview

In the third Stan Kraychik mystery, Boston's sassiest hairdresser faces a confusing mix of romance and murder in the world of ballet. Stan's streak of recent bad luck in romance seemed at an end when he became involved with ballet choreographer Rafik Panossian. But bad luck of a different sort dogs his steps when the founder of the ballet company is found brutally murdered and the company's young conductor (and Stan's possible rival for Rafik's affections)...

Customer Reviews

Agatha Christie like mystery.

Stani is a Gay Poirot, a funny, smart, flesh & blood character. Nice mystery plus gay erotica makes a good mix. Very moving "grand finale". A very enjoyable novel.

Yet another GREAT read from Grant Michaels!!

Stan Kraychik is one hell of an amateur sleuth. And Grant Michaels is one hell of a writer!! The Kraychik novels will surely define the best of gay writing for a generation. Stan solves murders much like a Jessica Flecher would: dogged determination and a mind which can focus on details. Read ALL the Kraychik mysteries in order: A BODY TO DIE FOR, LOVE YOU TO DEATH, DEAD ON YOUR FEET, MASK FOR A DIVA, TIME TO CHECK OUT, and his latest, DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. You will fall in love with the characters in the books.

A funny, enjoyable, positively good gay time.

I like this author. He defines the gay character positively and sensitively. I enjoyed the story, the characters, the plot. The story line is simple: Stan the popular hair mistro does a bit of detecting on the side. Stan is someone who "speaks" our innermost thoughts and fears. Grant Michaels allows Stan to grow and make us proud of him. (Hey, this is a great Pride month book--it's a great book to get confy with.) This book gives us a nice serving of erotica as well as positive glimpses of gay firendships, loves and intelligence. Stan can do my hair anytime. That is, if he can pull himself away from dicking long enough. :)
