Bear Chronicles #1

by Gary W. Moore

Take a glimpse into a world that may be foreign to you, even though it takes place in Houston. Follow along with this tight-knit group of gay men and the year that will change their lives forever. But be forewarned, these big, burly, bear men aren't your garden-variety gays. They've been through tough times and their close bonds confirm this. However, nothing's prepared them for what happens early in the New Year when their lives are shattered by a gunman's bullet. The police start an investigation but they quickly extinguish all leads and clues, finally shelving the case. Some in the group decide to pick up where the police left off and begin their own investigation. During their search for the killer, these novice detectives get themselves into situations that are foolhardy, risky and life threatening. And if the killer becomes aware of their efforts, will one of them become his next target? Many other challenges come along during this time and they have to face them head on because life doesn't slow down for anyone. Will they all make it through to the New Year? Filled with humor, danger, love and heartbreak, this story will leave you wanting more.

This book is long and has the strangest POV (and changing POV) I can remember reading.

I would suggest reading the excerpt before diving in to determine if you want to read a 400+ page book that reads something like a screenplay in book form.

That said, the soap opera nature of the story is a little addicting even if you can skip over vast amounts of pages that deal with nothing important. I wouldn't call this a romance either. It's an ongoing serial type story that follows the lives of 6 "bear" men and the lives they are leading both together as a group and individually.

Here is where you can read the excerpt:

I really enjoyed this. A great mystery, great friends. I loved the episodic, almost soapie feel. Bring on number 2.
