Desert Foxe (Skyler Foxe Mysteries) Paperback – March 8, 2016

In typical style Skyler can’t keep away from trouble. I like the way this story was told. Through the eyes of not only Skyler, but the SFC and others. Really made it fun to see what others think. 4.0 for Fake IDs.

This installment in an always plot-innovative series brings together virtually every character who has been introduced by author Walsh along the way, and the meeting place is absolutely incongruous for this whole crowd: The annual gay White Party in Palm Springs, where Skyler, his lover Keith, the members of the SFFC (you have to read the first book to get the definition), their cop friends and two of Skyler's besotted students all show up in one way shape or form-fitting costumes.And then there is the plot twist. You might raise an eyebrow here and there as to how school teacher Skyler manages to get mixed up in an FBI investigation without his lover Keith, a football coach at Skyler's school who is also an undercover FBI agent at times. And you might get a bit annoyed at how all of the characters (including Sydney, Skyler's best friend female cop) can be such drama queens, but the upshot is worth getting to.That upshot is for me to know and you to find out, but I will hint that it involves character reversals one has not seen so far between Skyler and Keith, and it is the saving grace which moves this one up from 3.5 to four stars. Worth it.

I enjoyed this latest installment in the Skyler Foxe Mystery Series by Haley Walsh. This one let us get inside the heads of some of the secondary characters, unlike previous offerings. This was essential to this well presented plot. I was guessing right up to the end about a number of the factors involved in the murder mystery. There were some very interesting plot twists, to say the very least.If you love a good murder mystery AND enjoy m/m romance, you'll love this offering as well as the other stories in the series. Mr. Foxe, high school English teacher, and amateur sleuth, is a very likable character and his friends are all interesting and likeable too.It is not necessary to read the first publications in this series in order to understand or enjoy this novel but you will enjoy it more if you do. That is because of the ongoing unfolding of romantic relationships amongst the cast of characters as the series goes along.

This 5th installment in this very engaging series is so much fun and action packed. Previous books are restricted to Skyler's viewpoint. But this time I love that all the well loved characters in this series are given their own point of view, which inject so much life and fun into the whole story. I also love that Alex and Rick have joined the little family of Skyler, Keith, Sydney and our SFC boys. The crime itself could be better thought out but this is more than compensated by the fun, fast pace, action packed scenes and most of all the perfect fitting of all the characters in the crime mystery. Every one of the gang has an active and important role in the plot, each one moving the exciting plot along, which makes it so much more fun to read. I hope the writer continues with this style of viewpoint switch among these lovable characters.

This is another great story in the Skyler Foxe series all of which are just about perfect. The characters are all likeable and keep appearing in each installment, there is always a good mystery and a lot of tension as things work out, usually with Skyler's help and intervention, and there's an underlying message about love, friendship and acceptance in all of the stories. Good for Haley Walsh for continuing to please her growing readership with good writing and well-told tales. If you haven't read any of the series it might be helpful to start at the beginning - you'll be hooked and will relish the experience of being with Skyler and his friends during their trials and tribulations, all of which end satisfactorily. But don't let any qualms about serialization put you off - you can start with any of the stories, this one included, and enjoy the reading experience. Highly recommended.

This is a fun read. As a long time resident of Palm Springs I can relate to the local chosen for this book. The Palm Springs 'White Party' is truly unique and I am sure that more stories could be reaped by those that have experienced it. The author did take some writer's license in places - one such example is that any one that knows Palm Springs, knows that there is not a hotel in the area that has 15 floors. This did not, however, detract from the story. This is a good, enjoyable tale and well worth the time.

My God! Does this author even know how to write a bad story for Keithand Skylar?!I love that this story was told from the view point of the most important characters in this story.Of course the mystery was intriguing (seriously, the murder mystery really grabbed my attention and held it) and I could not help but laugh at poor Skylar! He tried so hard to stay away from a murder but what could he possibly do when murder literally lands at his feet?! LOL poor guy.Joel Leslie...nuff said 💖« Show LessReviewed on May 11 2016 by HaloLove () on audibles.com

As with all the prior Skyler Foxe Books, I loved them. This one went a little beyond. This story was the most tight. Skyler getting in trouble, well that is a given. But what makes this one stand out is that all the other characters are more there, more real, more active. Throughout the series Skyler and the gang were there for background support. Now all the characters are growing. There becoming more then there original description.So in my words this installment of the Skyler Foxe Mysteries is the best so far. Please keep them coming. Thank you for the amazing stories. On to more more more.
