I have followed the stories of George and Mike from the beginning and was happy to see yet another in their grand saga. However, in this particular one, I frequently got distracted by the improper use of commas! It's hard to read a sentence that has more commas than needed as this throws off the sense of the sentence. I personally don't like to have to go back and re-read a sentence to figure out what was said...or how I should interpret what was said, given the punctuation. I know this may seem like a picky thing, but I've come to expect decent writing from those authors that have been producing stories over the past four years. One wold hope that they are evolving and improving their writing styles as much as their stories reflect the evolution of gay life. I would think that at this stage of his writing career, any previous improper punctuation would have resolved itself and his stories would be free of these niggling errors.Etienne's style for these stories is very straight forward. Just as his characters frequently say "Make it so", he too charges forward with briskness. This story evolves over a longer time frame than many of the previous ones in the series, skipping large chunks/months. This is OK, as it moves the underlying police case forward, but it would also be nice to just know how these lives evolve in more than a cut-and-dry view. His stories reflect what appears to be a regimented life with few emotions. I just wish there was more of the human soul showing through...even the children fall into this type of life, making all the characters seem terribly one-sided and empty. There is little emotion, no sense of highs and lows, and in retrospect, a really humdrum life. And that is sad.

Fold Do Not starch An Avondale Story featuring George and Mike edition by Etienne Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
It felt like forever but finally I got my hands on Fold, Do Not Starch. This is an Avondale story from Etienne featuring two of my favorite characters from my favorite series, George and Mike. It's been a while since I last heard from these men.
This latest installment opens with George and Mike finally settling down and probably given up on the prospect of an early retirement. They and their adopted son, Robbie, have sort of settled into domestic bliss and are just living and working through their life day by day. Then George stumbles into a seemingly small time case. As he and his people start to slowly build their case, they realize that money laundering is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This was big and gradually turning into a nightmare. They may have to call in the FBI. Again!
Focusing on his never ending paper work, George, as Captain, shows his ability to not only be in charge but be a leader. Unknown yet to him, his life will be changed for the better once the Sheriff gets done with the reorganization of his dreams. Getting a promotion may mean more time with his family but George will also have to deal with more paperwork.
As their family settles and the most complication George and Mike could think of was how to raise a child prodigy in Robbie, George's past unexpectedly intrudes and brings along with it an unknown factor. Suddenly, George and Mike find themselves, once more, deep within familiar territory of having somebody new in their lives and both of them have just have to deal with it.
It's been so long and I had been wondering if I'd seen the last of these two men. Apparently, I was not the only one dreaming of another story.
So what is new to this book?
Well, George and Mike are still as loving to each other as always, Thor is still that incredible beauty and protector, and Robbie is growing up. Robbie especially is seeing great changes in his life, some sad but mostly good especially regarding his musical talent. The department George heads is still doing its thing and better than most. Really, it is just a daily life story for these men.
It is when the new case gets introduced that the talent of Etienne comes to the fore. Once more, there is the intrigue and mystery of a case and as it slowly unfolds, it gets a bit complicated. As the investigative process does what it does, I never really got a glimpse of how it would all end. I do know it would get solved somewhere along the way but it kept me guessing the whole time and I never really thought up any solutions.
The unexpected turn of events in George's and Mike's life came out of nowhere and yet, it managed to not only close a lot of loose ends from the previous books but it also managed to open newer possibilities. I thank the author for finally closing that chapter but also am a bit frustrated for I now am starting to dream of more adventures from these two! I do so love Fold, but instead of settling me, I find myself impatient for more and I can't help but be frustrated for when the next stories would be published!
So yes, I definitely fell in love with Georg and Mike. Again.
But now, I just want more!!!!!
Disclaimer I served as beta reader for Fold so it does have a special place in my heart. Thank you, Etienne! I love George and Mike even more... Now, if only I can have more of them and their friends? D
I really like the George and Mike books. I liked the detective story, the characters and the detective techniques. This is a very happy gay couple who are raising a child. I like these kind of books with responsible and likable gay characters.
This book continues the story that I love. I want more. There are so many of the Avondale stories that you can't wait to see what happens to them next. I want more. I thank Etienne so much. This author doesn't just write one story and leave the reader hanging. The stories just draw you in an continue the story. I have re read the entire series 3 times. in the last few months because i seem to find something in them i missed the first time. Please Etienne continue this series it is wonderful and gives the reader the break from life I know I need. It makes me feel good when I read it. Thanks again keep up the good work!!!!
