Midlife Crisis

Chapter 2

PRAISE FOR MIDLIFE CRISIS

“Our sassy hot-mess protagonist—suffering from the novel’s titular malady—is torn between two unlikely men from his past. Rosen makes that choice agonizing, in what is ultimately a glorious love story. With a fifteen-year-old murder mystery and a cast of believably zany supporting characters, readers will anxiously be awaiting their ultimate fates until the last page.” - Eric Del Carlo, author of After the Hell

“Rob Rosen does madcap gay humor better than anyone else writing today. Midlife Crisis is no exception.” - Neil Plakcy, author of The Mahu Investigations

“Rob Rosen’s Midlife Crisis has laughs aplenty, along with intrigue, romance, s*x, and heartbreak. The reader will enjoy the humorous wordplay and snappy dialogue, which, alongside a tale of first love lost and a long-forgotten mystery surfacing from the past, carries the story forward to an exciting conclusion.” - T.R. Verten, author of Confessions of a Rentboy

“If you’re looking for a humorous and intelligent book to read, Rob Rosen’s Midlife Crisis should be on the top of your list. A tale of going back to move forward, as told by Jack, the story’s main character, is full of youthful and gay witty repartee balanced with the poignancy that comes with adult life. It will make you laugh out loud one minute and get teary the next. Oh, and if you like a good murder mystery, there’s that too. Kudos to Rosen for creating some very memorable characters.” - Julian G, Simmons, Narrator, Widdershins audiobook series

“Can you go home again? Rob Rosen explores the perils and promises of renewing a steamy boyhood affair in this witty romance wrapped in a murder mystery, seasoned with a dash of mature but spicy s*x. The answer for his hero Jack seems to be “Yes,” but watch out: there may be more “there” there than you think.” - Louis Flint Ceci, author of Comfort Me

“This is a case of Rob Rosen being Rob Rosen, and that is a good thing. If you’ve read this author, you’ll know what to expect. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat.” - Donald Morgan,

author of The Eagle’s Claw

“As usual, Rob Rosen has reached into the dust bin and pulled out a winner. He’s even found a way to make a died-in-the-wool bully useful. As a mystery writer, I found this a great read.” - Don Travis, author of The Zozobra Incident and The Bisti Business

“I’m tempted to say this is the best of Rob Rosen...but he isn’t finished yet. A great mystery with a lot of flavor added. You won’t be disappointed.” - Mark Wildyr, author of the four-book Cut Hand Series, The Victor & the Vanquished, Charlie Blackbear, and Johnny Two-Guns
