A records clerk for Toronto PD, Tallus Domingo seems to spend more time helping his gruff boyfriend, PI Diem Krause, with his cases. Diem’s latest case is highly perplexing. A comatose teenage boy was found nearly drowned in a river with skid marks on the steep cliff nearby. While police write this off as an accident, his mother is convinced it is murder after she finds a short story allegedly written by him mirroring the details of his death. Despite a mountain of obstacles, including a manic number of alarm clocks at their B&B, several attempts on their lives, aggressive fathers, and complaints to the police, Tallus and Diem refuse to give up until they know what happened.

This was such an absorbing whodunnit, I absolutely loved the complex murder set up and investigation! I also loved the progress Tallus and Diem are making on their blossoming relationship. Diem has had an abusive childhood thanks to a violent, bullying father. Over the series we’re watching him slowly heal and rehabilitate with the help of Tallus, who steadfastly refuses to take ‘no’ for an answer. Diem was not a favourite character early on, but I’m warming to him as more of his struggles and attempts to overcome them are revealed. 🎧 Nick J Russo is always excellent: he’s perfect for voicing Tallus and I’m really warming to his gruffer voice for Diem.

Absorbing murder plot and heartfelt romance!
