A Stan Kraychik Mystery, Book 2 - Valentine's Day is fast approaching and everyone has a sweetheart, except Stan Kraychik, Boston's sassiest hairdresser. Ever hopeful of meeting Mr. Right, Stan attends a gala reception that culminates in a death by poisoning, and romantic problems take a back seat to murder. Then Boston police arrest Stan's friend Laurett Cole, who leaves her four-year-old son in Stan's care. In his quest to free Laurett from suspicion and himself from his ill-mannered ward, Stan finds himself exploring the secrets of a revered Boston institution, the Gladys Gardner Chocolate Company. There, along with the sweet edibles, he finds an assortment of not-so-delectable murder. A Lambda Literary Awards Finalist in 1993, this new edition includes a foreword by Frank W. Butterfield. "Refreshing ... a pleasant story of murder, mixups, and mayhem ... The story's perky pace is due to Michael's penchant for campy conversation and humorous insights from the snappy snipper from Snips." - Lambda Rising Book Report "The one-liners fly as fast as the bullets and there is a surprise in nearly every chapter. Love You to Death is an engaging murder mystery that epitomizes the best of the genre." - The Advocate "Grant Michael's sleuthing hairdresser has both the sensitivities of his craft and the balls to impel him into atypical daring. A Body to Dye For has the tart, racy smell of success." - Bay Area Reporter "A delightful debut with a gay hairdresser-investigator who gets his fingers into a lot more things than hair. It's a promising start to what looks to be a successful series." - George Baxt, The Dorothy Parker Murder Case
