A vicious murderer is targeting gay men in Los Angeles, and it isn’t long before Dave Brandstetter finds himself in the killer’s path
Dave Brandstetter’s afternoon does not begin well: His ex-boyfriend picks him up at the airport, and the ride home—in bumper-to-bumper Los Angeles traffic—is one long argument between them. The insurance investigator’s day gets worse when he finds a man—bloody, rain-soaked, and ice cold—lying on his porch, killed by a stab wound while Dave was out of town. There is a serial killer loose in Los Angeles, and this man is his sixth victim. Like the others, he had already been marked for death—by the unforgiving plague known as AIDS. Someone is targeting sick men in the city, and Dave’s search for the killer leads him into the dark side of gay Los Angeles, where death comes without warning, and life is a fearful dream. Early Graves is book nine in the Dave Brandstetter Mystery series, which also includes Troublemaker and The Man Everybody Was Afraid Of.

“Hansen’s best novel.” —The Boston Globe “Well plotted and well written.” —The New York Times “The most exciting and effective writer of the classic private eye novel working today.” —Los Angeles Times
About the Author
Joseph Hansen (1923–2004) was an American author of mysteries. The son of a South Dakota shoemaker, he moved to a California citrus farm with his family in 1936. He began publishing poetry in the New Yorker in the 1950s, and joined the editorial teams of gay magazines ONE and Tangents in the 1960s. Using the pseudonyms Rose Brock and James Colton, Hansen published five novels and a collection of short stories before the appearance of Fadeout (1970), the first novel published under his own name. The book introduced street-smart insurance investigator Dave Brandstetter, a complex, openly gay hero who grew and changed over the series’s twelve novels. By the time Hansen concluded the series with A Country of Old Men (1990), Brandstetter was older, melancholy, and ready for retirement. The 1992 recipient of the Private Eye Writers of America’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Hansen published several more novels before his death in 2004.

not sure how anyone can all this book "exciting"
By lazza
"Early Graves" is yet another installment of the Brandstetter mystery series by Joseph Hansen. This time Dave Brandstetter, our gay insurance investigator, goes beyond his job duties to solve a murder where the body was dumped at his doorstep. In the ensuing couple hundred pages we are treated to a mishmash of gay stereotypical characters, some violence, ... and lots of tedium. The surprise ending disappoints as well.
Bottom line: one of those books one can describe as "meh".

Still Good, But Not One of Hansen's Better Ones.
By Tex Reader
3.5 of 5 stars –
I love gay mysteries and romances, and this has been one of the best series combining both, and in the process rightfully became for Joseph Hansen a classic in gay literature. Even though it wasn't as good as the earlier high-quality ones, this ninth in the series was still good and continued to build the story.
I liked this for the same reasons I liked each in the series. First off, for those interested, it worked well as a standalone, with its own self-contained mystery, while also further developing the character and life of the MC, his boyfriend and other supporting characters, and smoothly providing any explanations needed to bring a first-time reader up on previous happenings.
Also, it was a nice, short, easy read, with a good, well-paced plot and character development. I enjoyed the walk back in time to my earlier years, with moments of what was then current situations and culture vividly described by Hansen in a way that helped me remember those times. And I liked that the main focus was on the mystery, with the gay aspect and any romance as a major subplot. The mystery itself was engaging and suspenseful, with the investigation having realistic twists and turns. It had a refreshing approach of not featuring your typical detective or PI but an insurance investigator pursuing the clues. I appreciated where this one took us back into the gay world of LA, where for the first time in Hansen's stories (early for the 80's) the issue of AIDS played a prominent part. This made the title have a poignant double meaning to me, referring not only to the serial killings, but to the devastation of AIDS. Still, some of the story was predictable, maybe even stereotypical, not as unique as previous mysteries (maybe as seen by my latter-day eyes), and a couple things a little too convenient. Even so, I got a feel for what the AIDS hysteria was like at that time, from someone writing about it at the time it was happening.
Hansen also developed nicely the whole set of characters. Of course there was more on the MC, with Hansen really getting into the life and mindset of a hard-boiled, matter-of-fact, honorable, self-accepting, sometimes melancholy gay man who I grew to like for all his skills, heart and humanness. As for the supporting cast, I also got a good feel for who they were, with some new ones to keep things fresh. For those who read the previous books, it was nice that some characters returned; but don't worry first-time readers, they were introduced and described just as if it’s a standalone. A nice bonus has been the MC’s gay life and relationships, and I was pleased to see his relationship continued with his boyfriend. They had to deal with some rough spots that can be realistically expected; but the motivation for these wasn't quite believable to me, and I felt a little distant this time. Another nice, realistic developing element was that also for the first time, the MC's aging started to be mentioned as more of an issue, which put his putting himself in danger in a new perspective.
I continue to be impressed with the level of quality that Hansen maintains in this series, and I look forward to the next one.
