Who Dat Whodunnit? [A Scotty Bradley Mystery]\u00a0Bold Strokes Books, 2011. Paperback. 231p. $16.95. 978-1-60282-225-2.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Taking place in New Orleans, this contemporary mystery novel follows private investigator Scotty Bradley and his two partners, Colin, an ex-Mossad agent, and Frank, a pro-wrestler and lawyer, as the Saints head to the Super Bowl for the first time in over 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>Scotty\u2019s estranged cousin, Jared, is a Saints player, bringing the hopeful victory even closer to home, causing family reconciliations and other events.<\/p>\n<p>Unexpected deaths occur, and Scotty and his two partners are drawn into the affair when it is discovered that Scotty\u2019s mother\u2019s gun was used in the two deaths.\u00a0 Family ties and quarrels, homophobic protests and general homophobia abound in this novel.<\/p>\n<p>While this book is a mystery, it can also be classified as contemporary fiction with angst: it realistically portrays family dysfunction and failing family expectations. The reader will cheer at the wins of the Saints and successes in the relationships and cringe at events Scotty and others must face, including coming out, hiding, and being ostracized or outed by respected and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>This book is well-suited for adults, young adults, football fans, those involved in a threesome, and those who have faced or are facing homophobia in their families.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewer: s.n.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herren, Greg.
