The Night Listener: A Novel author: Armistead Maupin rating: asin: 006093090X binding: Paperback list price: $14.00 USD amazon price: $11.90 USD

This isn't part of Maupin's Tales of the City series, though one character has a supporting role and a few others are mentioned. But, the feel of this book is very different. Unfortunately, I can't describe this book without divulging spoilers. Let me just say that it's an interesting story and you will either love or hate the ending. I liked the ending but I can see how some might go the other way on it.

The characters are very compelling. Maupin kept me guessing until the end and it was a definite page turner.

Because it's not part of the Tales series, you don't need to have read those to enjoy this. If you have, you'll get a chuckle when you come across the references, but if you haven't read them, that won't detract at all from the story.
