A holly jolly Christmas with friends is all artist Peter Brandon and his private investigator partner Jeff Stevens expect when they visit their buddies, Andrew and David, in New York City. All that changes when a party guest ends up murdered and Andrew is considered to be the prime suspect.
The situation worsens when the murdered man's wife accuses Andrew of trying to persuade her husband to have a gay affair with him. It's up to Jeff and a sympathetic NYPD detective, Nick Fallon, to try to clear Andrew's name. They are, at times, aided and then hindered by Peter's erratic psychic abilities-or disabilities, as he calls them- that eventually lead them to a powerful and unexpected showdown when the real killer is exposed.
Along the way, new friendships are made and tested-and one is irrevocably destroyed by lies and denial. This is another fast-paced page turner from J.P. Bowie that will keep you guessing all the way to the end-and perhaps, beyond...
This is a re-issue.
A Portrait of Andrew edition by Bowie JP Literature Fiction eBooks
In "A Portrait Of Andrew", the third and superlativeinstallment of his "portrait" series, J.P. Bowie takes
us on a journey to New York City. Peter, the artist,
and Jeff, the private detective, travel to the Big Apple
to visit their friends, Andrew and David, for the Christ-
mas holidays. There is an engaging, easy-going bond that
the four share that is so enjoyable to witness, and it is
that bond that ultimately will be tested when a lurking
dark force rears it's ugly head. Andrew's trust and con-
cern for a friend in need is betrayed, and his life is
suddenly thrown into peril and continuous danger.
We are introduced to a host of new characters this time
around including Morgan Kennedy, a middle-aged aristocrat,
Jeremy, her gold-digging gay lover, and Nick Fallon, a
closeted New York detective who, along with Jeff, cracks
a complex murder case, and in the process, frees himself
from a troubled past and finds a soul mate in the process.
Bowie's plot is rich with character portrayals and is,
once again, vividly real and engrossing. The love scenes
are sometimes erotic and passionate, but always tender and
loving. There is a certain edge and grit to the storyline
here, due in large part to the geographical surroundings
of a big, bustling metropolis, as compared to the laid
back, California coastline feel to Bowie's first two epics.
This adds to the suspenseful and climactic ending that
is once again, startling and unpredicatable.
For those who enjoy intelligent, entertaining, insight-
ful and heart-warming reading, "A Portrait Of Andrew" will
not disappoint. It is time and money well spent, and will
have you anxiously looking forward to Bowie's next offering
which will, no doubt, be well worth the wait.

YAY Nick and Eric!!!
I've been waiting for them to make an appearance and finally they did it! I loved seeing Nick working with the police and how he and Eric met and started their relationship - it's just so romantic and touching and lovely *happy sigh*
Great meeting Andrew and David, I missed them and I'm happy with them moving back from New York and how David decided to do it for Andrew is really touching and sweet )
Jeff and Peter are awesome as always ) Loved Peter's little bout of jealousy of Nick and Jeff and how sweet Jeff's reassurances were.
Jeremy was a scumbag, but still I felt sorry for him when he lost Kavin. Morgan's interesting and complex character too, I felt sorry for her in some moments, but at the end - what a horrible woman!
Loved-loved-loved this book! )
J.P. Bowie is continuing to bat 1000 with his latest novel, "A Portrait of Andrew." The third novel in the series has moved locale from laid-back California to fast-paced New York City. I was anxious to see what new things would happen with our main characters, Peter and Jeff, when they went to visit their good friends, Andrew and David, who had moved to New York City at the conclusion of "A Portrait of Emily." We are treated with new and interesting characters -- some good and some evil -- and, of course, murder. We get all of the intrigue and "who-done-it" scenarios we have come to expect from J.P Bowie's work, but in this installment there is more comedy, a pleasant surprise. If you want a novel that is a quick read with characters you will come to care about, this one is for you. I highly recommend it. Kudos to the author!
First off, I have to admit I'm a sucker for novels that follow the adventures of the same principal characters, but that's just one reason I have enjoyed J P Bowie's 'Portrait' series so much. In "A Portrait of Andrew" his third and latest mystery in the series, Bowie once again hooks us with a tight, tense plot, lots of humor and a sprinkling of sex amid the twists and turns the story takes.
Our heroes, Peter the artist and Jeff the PI, jet off to the Big Apple to spend the Holidays with their close buddies Andrew and David - (in A Portrait of Emily, David gets a promotion that necessitates their move from Laguna Beach to NY.) I found their reunion, and Peter and Andrew's sharing of confidences, truly heart warming. Bowie's talent for drawing his characters well is shown to great effect when we meet the loathsome Jeremy Kennedy and his paranoid wife Morgan at a party Andrew and David throw at their apartment. Morgan and Andrew have formed a close friendship that is shattered by Jeremy's treachery, but when Jeremy is murdered and Andrew considered the prime suspect, Morgan turns on Andrew and accuses him of having a clandestine affair with her husband.
Enter Nick Fallon, an NYPD detective with an unhappy past and a secret he keeps from his partner. He suspects a set up, and with Jeff's help, sets out to find the real killer. Nick is a great addition to Bowie's cast of characters and I hope he shows up again in future stories.
"Andrew", set against a backdrop of a snow bound New York City, is rich in atmosphere, witty dialogue and surprising twists. I can really recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read, a tricky whodunnit and a darned good yarn!
Bowie gives us wonderful characters and an excellent murder mystery. The portrait he gives the reader of Philip, Peter's murdered lover is so touching and poignant I felt emotions for Peter. Peter's friends were excellent characters and the descriptive narrative of his home and friends painted a very lucid picture for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed Bowie's style of writing. He keeps the reading involved with the constantly changing moods and introducing us to some very unsavory characters. No disapointments here.
