The Chicken Asylum

Alex Reynolds #5

by Fred W. Hunter

When Alex Reynolds, his lover Peter Livesay, and his mother Jean-occasional freelance operatives for the CIA-are asked to stash an Iraqi military defector in their home, all three are less than thrilled. It turns out the defector is an 18-year-old soldier who has ties to a terrorist organization and, to further complicate matters, is gay. But the real trouble begins when the young man mysteriously disappears, and suddenly Alex, Peter and Jean find themselves in the middle of a very dangerous game.

[Ije the Devourer of Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

All the mysteries in this series have been hugely entertaining and very funny.

This is the last one in the series.

Drat!!

Now what will I do?

4:30 am and I just finished it. I didn't read it all in one go, but I had to finish it up to see what would happen!

Turns out that this is the last book--so far--in a series. Didn't really need to read the other books to understand things...it was pretty well spelled out. But I did go track down a few of the others to read, eventually. I fell in love with the characters and 'awwwed' way too many times.

This is the last one book of the Alex Reynolds series published to date. It's quite good with lots of twists and lots of Alex and Peter doing their "thing". The Reynolds family ends up giving asylum to this young Iraqi soldier. Mayhem follows. Written and published before the war begun.
