Description
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.
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.
Advance Praise
“There is no cast I’d rather solve mysteries with than these clever, fierce, hilarious, and endearing disasters, characters bursting with heart and laugh-out-loud wit. While these detectives might be messes (complimentary), Rosen is at the top of his game, crafting not only a brilliant mystery but an ensemble that radiates queer joy and freedom. A balm for the soul and a knockout suspense.”—Ashley Winstead, USA Today-bestselling author of This Book Will Bury Me
“Twisty, heartfelt, sly and sharp, The Disaster Gay Detective Agency is exactly what would happen if me and my messy friends got in way over our heads. It’s total blast.”—John Fram, USA Today-bestselling author of The Midnight Knock
“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
“Can important work also be wildly entertaining? Is it possible to balance issues of identity and acceptance with madcap hijinks? What about deliciously sexy on one page and scream-out-loud scary on the next? Lev A.C. Rosen answers with a string of thrilling Yes’s in this delightfully queer mystery. I ate it up!”—Rob Osler, award-winning author of Cirque du Slay
