The Disaster Gay Detective Agency

From award-winning, critically acclaimed crime writer Lev Rosen comes a punchy, hilarious mystery-thriller. Meet the disaster gays: They're messy. They're queer. And they're about to solve a murder... Or die trying. "Madcap and criminally good. Lev Rosen has served up a sharp mystery with verve and heart. . . . The smart and feel-good murder mystery we've been waiting for!" -- Margot Douaihy, bestselling and award-winning author of Scorched Grace Brandon is a hopeless romantic. So when a handsome stranger named Jon checks in at the hotel he works at and invites Brandon to his room, Brandon ignores the advice of his crew--a group of loveable and messy queer twenty-somethings--and accepts. What follows is a tale as old as time: they hook up, Jon promises to text, Brandon falls in love, and Jon ghosts. Case closed--or is it? When Jon checks out early, leaving behind a bag of belongings and his cellphone, Brandon takes the phone and sets out to find him, thinking that this must at last be his Cinderella story. But he gets more than he bargained for when he witnesses a murder--and sees Jon fleeing the scene. Determined (and not in over their heads whatsoever), Brandon, Ollie, Nicole, and Ian decide to solve the mystery of the murder and uncover Jon's true identity...they just have to figure it out before a target falls on their own backs.
