    About this ebook

    Funny, sexy and clever, Good Thing Bad Thing follows everyman Mark as he decamps to Italy with his new boyfriend and discovers that life is not always as bad - or as good - as it seems...

    On holiday with new boyfriend Tom, Mark heads off to rural Italy for a spot of camping. When the ruggedly seductive Dante invites them onto his farmland the lovers think they have struck lucky, but there is more to Dante than meets the eye - much more. Thoroughly bewitched, Tom, all innocence, appears blind to Dante's dark side - but Mark is racked with suspicion. As their holiday starts to spin slowly but very surely out of control, it is Mark, alone, who can maybe save the day...

      The third part in this series of novels by Nick Alexander centres on Mark's relationship with Tom, and we first join them holidaying together in Italy, travelling in Jenny’s VW camper. Unable to find space at the local camp sites, they are directed to a small farm run alone by the attractive Dante, where Tom becomes a little too interested in what’s on offer, and then their troubles begin. Lives are at risk, their relationship disintegrates, and Tom’s health suffers. From there we follow what they are able to salvage, if anything, of what may be left of their relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Alexander’s pacing is spot on; just as it seems everything is about to go a little too predictably we are suddenly thrust into a tense drama. Then later when all seems to be settling down, he again ups the tempo. Finally at the very conclusion when everything appears resolved, a new worrying doubt is raised, surely preparing the way for a forth book in this series, I certainly hope so.
