If readers consider the "Alex Reynolds" books to be improbable romps, Hunter has no complaints that's part of the plan. Klett, writing in Library Journal, described the book as "a moderately lightweight and engaging adventure." As the book progresses, James's ties to terrorist organizations become clearer, and the trio of detectives have to pin down his real motives.
Robert Dunbar, writing in Lambda Book Report, commented that "The 'wit' may not scintillate, and the 'mystery' may not keep readers up at night, but the cast of characters provides unchallenging and amiable enough company: that's probably the point." The Chicken Asylum, published in 2001, involves Alex, Peter, and Jean in a CIA program to provide asylum to "James," a gay, eighteen-year-old Iraqi soldier who knows where weapons of mass destruction are hidden. When a bomb explodes in the campaign office, killing the lesbian office manager, the CIA looks to their part-timers Alex and Peter, along with Jean, to investigate. Peter and Alex volunteer to help out with the campaign of a gay-friendly senatorial candidate in National Nancys. The three main characters "are such appealingly droll sleuths that their capers are hard to resist," Scott remarked in another Booklist review. Things get more complicated when they learn that the item in question was a violet diamond, a religious artifact belonging to a violent Eastern religious order-and that they are suspected of having the diamond in their possession. Whoever committed the murders wreaked havoc on the doll collection, apparently looking for something.

Booklist reviewer Whitney Scott called the plot line "a scenario of murder and mayhem full of delicious wit and dialogue."Ĭapital Queers finds Alex and Peter investigating the death of a gay friend-a collector of pricey dolls-and the man's lover. Alex meets up with his old friend, but shortly afterward the man is found dead, and the sleuthing trio of Alex, Peter, and Jean has to reveal their CIA status to suspicious police while trying to find the murderer. He spots an old college buddy and former lover in the film, then decides that the man must be in an exploitative situation and in need of help. In 1998's Federal Fag, Alex watches a gay porn film during a lull in a Los Angeles vacation with Peter. Assisting on their capers is Alex's mother, Jean, "a terribly British and wonderfully comic character who plays sidekick to no one," not even her son, remarked Whitney Scott in Booklist.Īlex, Peter, and Jean were introduced in Government Gay, published in 1997. Alex and Peter also happen to be part-time undercover operatives for the CIA and the FBI.
