Mitch Mitchell needs a vacation, and he is determined to make the most of his trip to the Mediterranean island of Gozo. Death never takes a break however, and at the behest of fellow doctor Bob Southern, Mitch soon finds himself investigating the demise of a young, gay lance corporal. The police have ruled it a suicide, but the young man’s boyfriend claims it was murder. Suspecting an official cover-up of a queer scandal, Mitch gets to work on an investigation that leads him into a labyrinth of lies, false identities and secret sex. With tension, humor and plenty of Mitch Mitchell’s exuberant sexual encounters, The Sun Goes Down cranks up the Mediterranean heat for one of his most baffling and dangerous cases.

"One of the most completely unique characters in all M/M literature, Mitch Mitchell has done it again in his own salacious, but insightful, way. Breaking his own heart by driving his beautiful, loving partner Vince out of his life, the American with the physician's license from Edinburgh gets lucky--as usual--with a propitious communication from his old university chum Frank (not Bob as the blurb mistakenly calls him) to help solve a mystery on the beautiful isle of Gozo off the short of Malta.

As usual in a Mitch mystery, his attention is drawn immediately into the book by two exceptionally hot, and perhaps receptive, men--a soldier named Bill and a young lithe blond named Henry--on the boat, and we are privy to all the wonderful things Mitch wishes he could do to each of them on board. He even spots a tall and handsome man with a "dog collar," which means he's a priest, and mentally hyperventilates over that one.

By the time he's achieved his first sexual experience on the island, Mitch has introduced us to a wild assortment of supporting characters, all of which would have been perfectly at home with any of the characters that his hero Hercule Poirot would encounter. There is so much tongue-in-cheek here, and so much plot twisting (and bed hopping) that you don't realize how quickly author Lear is proceeding to a climax in the plot. Among other climaxes.

The added twist in this book is the introspection Lear brings to Mitch as he gets older, and lonely. How it ends leaves us hoping that Lear will continue the tale of this terribly unique and lovable (if sometimes caddish) character"

  • Great writer of gay erotic fiction, articulate and humorous, Lear's novel, with all the murder mystery allusions to Agatha Christie and the 1932 setting in a remote island of the British Empire, but this island is in the Mediterranean is one I had never heard about, really is a fun and sexy read. The gay sex scenes are a big bonus. All the women who write M/M "erotic fiction" or romance fiction really NEED to read this book to understand what REAL gay sex is about. I have to admit that I've read all of Lear's novels, and they are by far the best of the genre. Josh Lanyon is good, but his sex scenes lack the passion and reality of gay sex.
  • After a six year hiatus, during which Mr Lear penned the two Dan Stagg mysteries, we have the pleasure to return to the adventures of Dr Mitch Mitchell, amateur detective and man about town. The book is superb... I didn't want it to end. Mr Lear's writing style is elegant with his trademark British understated sense of humor, sexy as can be, and the plot and characters are worthy of Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers. It is a thoroughly entertaining read. I have read nine of Mr Lear's erotic novels and I have never been disappointed. Hopefully we won't have to wait so long for more of Dr Mitch.
  • The year is 1932, the setting a Mediterranean Island plus all the intrigue, sex and m/m romance you could ask for. Author James Lear book THE SUN GOES DOWN is a well written murder mystery with an eccentric cast of characters and the very sexy and masculine Dr. Mitch Mitchell at the center of it all. Mr. Lear's writing was so good that I had no clue "who done it" until the very last chapter...
  • Another great installment in Mr. Lear's Mitch Mitchell mystery series. Albeit this one felt a little more rushed and tidy, I love that the main character looks to be developing beyond the gay rake stereotype. Look forward to reading about Mitch and Bill if the series continues. Worth reading if your already a fan...if you're a new reader then your in for a treat Mr. Lear doesn't disappoint
  • I sound like I'm writing this review in the !last century but what a fun read. Witty, well plotted, steady pace, period piece of a time that never was. Can you use the word "cozy" as high praise? This is reading that can transport you to another world even when you know the real world was never like this.
  • Enjoyed this tale, possibly even more than the previous ones as Mitch is starting to question his personal decisions.
    Loved the setting in Gozo. As it has been and now is the home of a couple of gay writers, it's a fitting location.
    Times have also improved since the era it was set in with Malta being one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to gay rights.
  • Well written, lots of naughty sex at just the right moments, interesting setting and a good mystery. Looking forward to reading Mr. Lear's other books. About those negative reviews... What did you think you were getting here? A Kathleen Woodiwiss romance?
