Praise for DRAMA QUEEN, the first Nicky and Noah mystery:

“This fast-paced, hilariously funny, entertaining novel will have you on the edge of your seat as you try to figure out who-dun-it!” -- Joyfully Jay

HONORABLE MENTION RAINBOW AWARDS 2016
“This book is a comic romp that simultaneously celebrates and lampoons a mash-up of genres: the bloodless murders (in this case six) of Agatha Christie and her ilk, the screwball movie mysteries of Nick and Norah Charles (it's Nick and Noah here), and the simile-rich voice-overs of film noir-- all updated for a gay context.” -- Rainbow Awards

Praise for DRAMA CRUISE, the third Nicky and Noah mystery:
“Superb fun from start to finish, for me this series gets stronger with every book and that’s saying something because the benchmark was set so very high with book 1.” --Three Books Over the Rainbow
“Joe Cosentino does it again with Drama Cruise, the third Nicky and Noah mystery. I loved the humor, drama, and theater work inside. Plus, the romance and murder investigation keep readers turning the pages. Absolutely, must read this latest book in the series.” --Urban Book Reviews
“I have been an avid reader of Joe Cosentino’s books for some time and he has yet to let me down. His ability to write highly original, yet somehow realistic, characters is one of his greatest strengths as a writer. Their quirks and personalities fill the pages in a way that makes for a fabulously entertaining and totally engrossing read. I loved this book and highly recommend it to lovers of farce, humour, murder mystery and sweet MM love stories.” Divine Magazine

Praise for DRAMA LUAU, the fourth Nicky and Noah mystery:
“Joe Cosentino has a unique and fabulous gift. His writing is flawless, and his use of farce, along with his convoluted plot-lines, will have you guessing until the very last page, which makes his books a joy to read. His books are worth their weight in gold, and if you haven't discovered them yet you are in for a rare treat. DRAMA LUAU joins his other books on my 5-star reread shelf. It may actually be my favourite one yet! Highly recommended.” --Divine Magazine
“a combination of Laurel and Hardy mixed with Hitchcock and Murder She Wrote…Loaded with puns and one-liners…Right to the end, you are kept guessing, and the conclusion still has a surprise in store for you.” --Optimumm Reviews
“adventure, mystery, and romance with every page….Funny, clever, and sweet….I can’t find anything not to love about this series….This read had me laughing and falling in love....Nicky and Noah are my favorite gay couple.” --Urban Book Reviews
Drama Detective
(the fifth Nicky and Noah mystery)
A comedy/mystery/romance
HONORABLE MENTION RAINBOW AWARDS 2019
"To say it’s tongue in cheek would of course be an understatement, but what surprised (and gladdened) me was the amount of heart in the story.... There are a lot of sobering issues addressed in this book, but the over-the-top silliness that abounds coupled with the uncomplicated prose delivery softens the blow and allows for the dark to work together with the light. There were also several comic gems that had me laughing out loud." -- Rainbow Awards
Theater professor Nicky Abbondanza is directing a Sherlock Holmes musical in a professional summer stock production at Treemeadow College, co-starring his husband and theatre professor colleague Noah Oliver as Dr. John Watson. When cast members begin toppling over like hammy actors at a curtain call, Nicky dons Holmes’ persona on stage and off. Once again Nicky and Noah will need to use their drama skills to figure out who is lowering the street lamps on the actors before the handsome couple get half-baked on Baker Street. You will be applauding and shouting Bravo for Joe Cosentino’s fast-paced, side-splittingly funny, edge-of-your-seat entertaining fifth novel in this delightful series. Curtain up, the game is afoot!

Praise for DRAMA DETECTIVE, the fifth Nicky and Noah mystery:
“Drama Detective (Nicky and Noah Mystery #5) by Joe Cosentino is high camp, warmed-hearted, murderous fun! A series that, like Nicky and Noah themselves, keeps getting better with each story as they adjust to each other, grow, and yes, continue to love, act, and investigate murders now as a family. I think this is the best yet! I can’t recommend the series and this story enough! Be prepared to want to cuddle a character or two as well as laugh out loud!” --Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words
“This series is superbly twisted, full of murder and mayhem, and so many laugh out loud moments…Each Nicky and Noah Mystery Series book has a wonderfully twisted plot steeped in farce and absurdist humour. The murder ‘weapons’ are always highly original as is the motive and identity of the murderer...One thing I can guarantee; you will not put this book down until you finish, unless it’s to recover from one of the many belly laughs you’ll engage in while reading. Another winner from this gifted author which I have no hesitation in highly recommending.” --Divine Magazine
“In the fifth volume of the delightful, award-winning Nicky and Noah mystery series from author Joe Cosentino, "Drama Detective," Treemeadow College theater professors Nicky Abbondanza and Noah Oliver find themselves embroiled in yet another murderer's killing spree at the one place you would think they would be safe: A stage….As narrator, Nicky's trademark wit, catty commentary and mocking metaphors are laugh-out-loud funny…like the previous four entries in this delectable series, the author leaves us breathlessly anticipating what's next in store for Nicky and Noah.” --Edge Media Network

Praise for DRAMA FRATERNITY, the sixth Nicky and Noah mystery:
“Joe Cosentino has authored another campy high body count murder mystery for Nicky and Noah to charge through! It’s full of the snappy dialog, fast-paced high jinxed action, and, of course, lots of falling bodies that this series is known for and we’ve come to love….With their adopted son, Taavi, Joe Cosentino, always managed to bring in the moving and the poignant elements of his stories….Need a series and book to love? Look no further! Grab this one and all of them up today for nonstop jocularity and murder hijinks!” --Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words
“the best modern Sherlock and Watson in books today…I highly recommend this book and the entire series, it’s a pure pleasure, full of fun and love, written with talent and brio…fabulous…brilliant…beautiful messages…amazingly funny situations…laughed a looooot!” OptimuMM Reviews
“Drama Fraternity is a novel that will surprise you, make you laugh out loud, giggle snort, keep you riveted from page one and ultimately provide you with a thoroughly fabulous read. Though I’d never have thought it possible, this series just keeps getting better and better. I look forward to more from Nicky and Noah, and Joe Cosentino, in the future….he’ll keep you guessing until the very end…Highly recommended.” --Divine Magazine

“The story is brilliantly written with scenes fast moving and laughter…. I loved the ending…OMG when you discover who the killer is in a big twist!” -- Divine Magazine
“I loved this book. Once again Joe Cosentino has developed a funny, cozyish mystery with so many twists and turns and once again baffled me as to who the real culprit was…If you like a sweet romance with established couples, an intriguing mystery, and lots of laughs, this is a must read.” -- TTC Books and More
“Author Joe Cosentino has crafted yet another cast of colorful, quixotic and deliciously catty characters, each of whom desperately tries to take center stage - and, in some cases, dies trying. Considering The Nutcracker is a holiday show, Cosentino offers a refreshing break from the summer heat and invites you to cool off in Vermont with the welcoming company of Nicky, Noah, and Taavi." -- Edge Media Network
