The House of Correction: Book Four in the Terrell Newman Detective Series (Terrell Newman Detective)

Rating:
Summary: Love and mystery on a slave farm
Review: This is an extraordinary book that looks at the world of BDSM with an open-mindedness that is exemplary. Before I read this book I had already grown to love the characters of Terrell Newman, FBI profiler Walter Selig and the other regular characters in the series, but I never expected to find myself enchanted by a guy who runs a slave farm! With the character of Edward Harrison, who keeps a stable of voluntary slaves, Taylor has come up with an exceptionally vivid and arresting character - a man who trains and keeps slaves and writes books on BDSM while cultivating orchids on the side. The story of the couple at the center of the mystery (a lawyer and his dominatrix mistress) ends up being a very moving one. But there are some very amusing scenes along the way - including one where a very uptight fundamentalist minister visits the slave farm and concludes that it is a model Christian community.
