This is the seventh book in the Tyack & Frayne Mystery series.
Lee would gladly trade all his psychic gifts for a chance at ordinary life with his husband and his little girl. Three years into their marriage, they’re settled in their new home – but the House of Joy can’t shield them from an oncoming threat with the power to uproot their whole world.
Lee can’t define it further, and even his beloved Gideon can’t unmask a monster with no face at all. Gideon is mired in problems and secrets of his own as he struggles to adjust to his new rank and the complexities of plainclothes police work with CID, and for once the devoted Tyack-Frayne partnership is failing to communicate.
Turbulent times in the world at large reach deep into the Bodmin heartland, and the village of Dark is without its guardian constable. More than Lee and Gideon can possibly know has been depending upon their rapport, and as the summer rises towards the longest day, a new and unfathomable kind of Beast is afoot on the moors...

This is another addition to the Tyack and Frayne mystery series. I strongly recommend that you read them in order, starting with 'Once Upon a Haunted Moor.' Too many characters and history criss-crossing through them for you to read them out of order.We have Gideon, newly promoted Detective Sargeant, and Lee stay-at-home dad with by appointment psychic hours. Each man is a force of good, and their bond is strong and sweet. This slice of Cornish village mystery is rife with mysticism, myths, and modern crimes of hate and destruction. A power is raised that knocks even Gideon and Lee off their foundation, and it takes the Lord of Misrule, the Crone, the Wife and the Maiden, the Prophet, the Guardian, and the Beast to rebuild.
This one (as with the last few volumes in the series) is more about the mythical piece than mystery, but several themes are moved along: how is Tamsyn's mother dealing with the adoption, how are Tamsyn's powers doing, how is Zeke's unwed fatherhood sitting with his congregation, how is Gideon feeling about his new work now that he is promoted, how is Gideon's mom's campaign for all things gay going, how is the village doing without Gideon?
Highly recommend, as a satisfying piece of the Tyack and Frayne menu.
Things I rate mm books on
Sexy scale1-5=3
Explicit mm scenes. Some of my favorite minutes with these two are when they are just admiring each other, and counting on each other for care and support.
Angst scale 1-5=3
I was shocked that Lee's and Gideon's connection was so rocked...Both were in some emotional pain. See bottom of review for possible trigger/spoiler
Humor scale 1-5=2
Less of the dog's goofiness in this one, the baby taking up some of the slack.
Likable MCs scale 1-5=3
These guys are really great together but they start this one off out of sync and it just gets worse for awhile... Harper had to pull some extreme Superman type action to get them back strong, but they seemed to get there.
If you like psych in your mystery, I recommend
Psycop Series by Jordan Castillo Price and
Plumber's Mate Series by J.L.Merrow
A Reason to Believe by Diana Copeland
Possible trigger/spoilers: bombing of a Pride event

Preacher Prophet Beast The Tyack Frayne Mysteries Book 7 edition by Harper Fox Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
It is hard for me to write an unbiased review of a Harper Fox novel. I suppose I might try by noting that each volume of the Tyack & Frayne series is inevitably “lesser” than Fox’s other books, if only because, as separate units of a larger whole, no one of the books can be as complete as a stand-alone work of art. Each book in the series necessarily depends on the others to make any sense at all.
Right?
But would that really be true? I suppose that if one were to read “Preacher, Prophet, Beast” entirely without foreknowledge of the rest of the series, it would leave the reader confused, having no context for any of the things that happen in the course of this seventh installment of the small-town saga of psychic Lee Tyack and his constable husband Gideon Frayne. There’s their adorable toddler, Tamsyn, with her whimsical Cornish name and startling supernatural powers. And of course there’s Elowen, Lee’s chimerical sister, who keeps appearing and has already tried once to take back the infant she turned over to her brother to raise. Then we have Rufus, Gideon’s erstwhile police partner, and his curious devotion to Lee, whom he insists on calling Locryn, his proper Cornish name that nobody else uses. How would one explain the idea of the Bodmin Beast, lurking nightmarishly in Gideon’s mind as something not real, and yet something not quite dismissable as mere fantasy? Or, indeed, the whole aura of vaguely Druidic Cornish magic that seems to haunt the moors around the town of Dark and everyone who is part of its history? How would an uninitiated reader assimilate all that back-story only through this latest (but seemingly not last) chapter in Lee and Gideon’s weirdly unremarkable life?
Fascinatingly, the entire essential backstory of the series is included, subtly and sometimes offhandedly, within the beautiful prose of this book. Surely the plot is puzzling, particularly at one key, vision-like moment that seems terribly surreal. But then again, I have read (and loved) all six of the previous books, and I was left confused and disoriented by “Preacher, Prophet, Beast.” I doubt a new reader would be much more thrown off by anything in this book than I was, even with my more complete familiarity with the whole story.
This is not to say that I’m recommending that one read these books out of order, or to jump in on chapter seven. I’m just saying that Fox’s writing is so good, the sense of place is so rich, and the characters are so compelling and varied and interesting, that “Preacher, Prophet, Beast” would be a good read even if one was totally ignorant of the context in which it was written. In a way, this entire book is an echo of all that went before, with a quietly bizarre finale that left me frankly slack-jawed with surprise.
I can’t say that this was my favorite book in the series; and yet I felt oddly bereft when it was done. It was as if some great secret had been revealed, but only just out of my sight.
The hard part will be waiting for episode 8.
