Kiss Marry Kill: Gay Mystery (Dr. Maxwell Thornton Murder Mysteries Book 6) Kindle Edition

Snakes don’t only crawl in the grass.

River Martin has begun to reveal his true motives for being in Rainy Dale, and, shocker, it’s not good news for Maxwell.

If Maxwell is going to go to war with River, he’ll need people on his side. In his quest to be more of a people person, he’s roped into attending the wedding of one of his young patients, Janelle Raiden.

The bride is stunning in white silk tulle. The groom is appropriately doting. The cake is pure buttercream decadence. Everything about the wedding seems so very, very perfect.

Until the groom’s dead ex-wife makes an appearance.

Gay Mystery and Gay Romance blend together as Maxwell and Royce solve another mystery in Rainy Dale. This is the sixth book in my Dr. Maxwell Thornton Murder Mysteries series. This is Lgbtq mystery that feeds the heart and head.

Recommended and rated this book: 5 stars
Okay, this was a fun read (as all of this series has been). There is so much going on that at times if was almost confusing! However, between ghosts, a wedding, a murder, obnoxious suspects and a real estate war, the ending was kind of a surprise but not (I guessed it just prior to the end of the story). Of course, now I need to read book 7! If you want to read a fun mystery series, S. C. Wynne has done an outstanding job. Reasons I enjoyed this book: Witty /Twisted /SteamyEasy-to-read /Action-packed /Great world building /Page-turner /Wonderful characters /Unpredictable /Original /Entertaining

5.0 out of 5 stars Believable Romantic Mysteries
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022

Below is an edited version of my review of Book 1 in this series--I am submitting it for the six sequels because I was overwhelmed with getting a handle on how to deal with the plots of each story and then realized that each book follows the same pattern: An absurd murder in an absurd town with mostly absurd characters who get into the kind of fixes you can't imagine would happen in anyone's absurd home town.

What saves the entire series is the cover man, Dr. Maxwell Thornton, whose life has been shattered by an innocent mistake made during surgery in his highly acclaimed Los Angeles practice and now seemingly exiled to Rainy Dale, Texas, as a GP to a town of gossips. There he meets Sheriff Royce Callum and that sets up a series of POV narratives which bring these two settled-in-their-ways late 30's gay men into intimate contact.

The romance which develops in all the books is among the most thoughtfully plotted and beautifully written as you will find in any MM novel, full of conflicts and heartbreak as well as intimacy and love. It saves the series and will force you to get the next one as soon as you finish each of them.

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2022
What a good story featuring an established couple, Royce and Maxwell that seem to be around when trouble comes calling. This story was hard to let go of with its many twists and turns associated not only with the mystery at the center of this story. Maxwell has a nemesis as well, who adds just a bit more to the story. This was my first installment in the series but I will follow along and go back to read the earlier stories as well. Enjoyable story with all of the good elements of a mystery with romance.

Kiss, Marry, Kill was excellent. I love how essentially got two stories/mysteries with in the story. There's a murder and River's behavior towards Max. The murder was well plotted out with twists and turns. This series just keeps getting better and better! I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Well done!!

I'm a huge reader so I've read some good cliffhangers but holy crap these get better every time. That makes total sense why Max was a target for River and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
As for Max and Royce I loved them in this book. Granted they still need to work on the communication aspect of a relationship, but their scenes together were sweet and romantic. I really do hope they have an amazing HEA in the next book

3.0 out of 5 stars I didn't dislike this book... But
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2022

I just feel like I being dragged (very reluctantly) to the conclusion of this series. And I've actually started to dislike the MCs and that could be because these stories just keep getting more and more irritating to me, but especially the epilogue on this one make me want to scream! I was so excited when this book was release but once again it ends with another case solved (barely) and the animosity between Maxwell and River Martin continuing. And then there's Royce, who really is a mediocre small town sheriff whose cases almost have to solve themself! Forgive me, I'm just frustrated that I have to wait 3 months and purchase another book just to find out how it all turns out in the end. IMO, this book should have been the last one for this series!!! Because they have only been going downhill since "Scalpels and Psychopaths", book 2!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Murder, Love, and Evil River! What's not to love!

We are happily back with Maxwell and Sheriff Royce in Rainy Dale, Texas.

Maxwell and Royce have come a long way since we first met them in book 1. They grew as a couple, but most of all Maxwell grew as a person. He has come on leaps and bounds since we first met him. He had his walls up so high that no one could reach him. Luckily for us, he met Royce and the walls started slowly coming down. He is still the same blunt, snarky, and aloof man we know and love, but he is so much more now. He is trying to change and be a better person and we see that in this one. I love that others get to see the true Maxwell and it made me so happy!

Maxwell is not the kind of man who can interact with his patients well. He is a cold person and his patients see that. Here, he befriends a patient named Janelle. She likes how Maxwell was with her and she invites him to her wedding. There, one problem after another arises which eventually leads to murder. After the groom is found dead it is up to Royce to find the killer. I loved the mystery here and I felt so sorry for Janelle. She only had Maxwell there for her and I just wanted to hug her. As the mystery unravels, it gets crazier and crazier. It is one hell of a pickle for poor Royce to figure out. I figured out a few things but was shocked by who the murderer was.

River is one big pain in the arse! He shows his true colours here and I'm glad some people finally saw him for who he is. He is determined to ruin Maxwell's happiness and has set out to beat him at every step. I did figure out why he hates him so much early on and I could understand his motives. But at the end of the day, Maxwell doesn't deserve the psycho's contempt. He is nuts and he goes too far. The end had me screaming at the page. What a cliffhanger. I need the new book now! I will not so patiently wait till September!

In conclusion, I love Maxwell and would love a sexy sheriff of my own. Especially after reading the scorching sex scenes here. I need me a Royce!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nailed it! Another winner thriller
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2022

It’s always a joy to immerse myself in the world of Max and Royce and the residents of Rainy Dale. Max and Royce are on firmer footing now even though Max is reluctant to impose on Royce’s hospitality. Both men have grown closed and Max is trying his best to shed his abrasive personality both at work and home - but he’s not always successful!

The murder mystery featuring poor Janelle and her new husband was well plotted and fast paced. I failed to spot the murderer or motive which I found very satisfying and is the sign of a good thriller. Apart from the case, Royce may have some issues keeping his post as sheriff in the further if two characters have their way. There’s also River to add to the mix. I’m not going to spoil the plot, but I do hope he gets his comeuppance soon!

Aside fro the murder and Max’s problems with River, there were some laugh out loud moments, one that springs to mind is “(She) latched onto me like a velociraptor might latch onto a lizard”.

The series shows no signs of weakening and I’m excited to read book 7. A fun, gripping 5⭐️

This book is definitely my favourite in the series so far (and that's saying something as I've enjoyed all of them!). I was just absolutely hooked from the outset and couldn't put it down. It feels like things really heat up in this one; the murder Royce is working on was engaging and kept me guessing, things with Max vs River kept me on the edge of my seat and I loved the dynamics of Maxwell and Royce together too. They just keep getting stronger and their relationship is the perfect blend of steamy and sweet/romantic. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book if you like MM romance and are familiar with the series. For me, it has to be 5 stars!

This series gets better and better.
Maxwell's awkwardness is endearing and though not many it draws the best to him and this is important as the cliff hanger tell us he is going to need them in book 7.
Meanwhile, in book 6 we have people who want something for nothing, people who think wealth buys you the right to anything you want and people whose insecurities make them do foolish things. A storyline that can pan out in a small town or a big city because we are human after all.
