He's To Die For by Erin Dunn
4.5
emotional funny mysterious

When I found out that "He's to Die For" is a queer murder mystery focusing on a police officer and his main suspect, a famous rock star, my interest was piqued. When I then also found out that it was pitched as Brooklyn 99 & The Charm Offensive, I could not stop my excitement. 
And oh boy, this book did not disappoint!

An irresistible kind of humor, characters that make you want to root for them, and a mystery with lots of crazy twists and turns are just a few of the properties that make this story so intriguing. 

However, there is one quality that deserves to be specially highlighted: the communication in this book is incredible. 
Even though they are in a high-profile situation  the way Rav and Jack handle communication is insanely well done. 
There were multiple times during the story where I had to put my phone down because of the excitement and happiness I felt at all of the avoided drawn-out misunderstandings and issues they solved simply by being honest and making sure they were both comfortable in the situations they found themselves in. 
I NEED more books with healthy communication like that. 

All in all, an incredible debut book, and I am already looking forward to reading more of Erin Dunn in the future! 

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with this ARC in return for an honest review.
