$17.99
A witty LGBTQ+ cozy mystery set amid Manhattan’s glittering charity scene, where an aspiring mystery writer finds himself investigating a murder that everyone else is eager to forget.
Description
Timothy Trousdale came to New York with a simple plan: become a bestselling mystery novelist, make a fortune, and finally prove everyone wrong.
Reality, unfortunately, has other ideas.
Fresh out of community college and perpetually broke, Timothy spends his days bouncing between soul-crushing temp jobs while waiting for his big break. When he lands a paid internship at the prestigious Adele Cummings Foundation for the Arts, it feels like fortune has finally smiled on him. The Foundation is a world of glamorous galas, wealthy patrons, artistic ambition, and enough pretension to power Manhattan for a decade.
Then a rising cabaret star is murdered.
The police quickly settle on a convenient explanation, but Timothy has consumed far too many mystery novels to accept easy answers. Armed with curiosity, determination, and a complete lack of self-preservation, he begins digging into the victim’s final days.
What he uncovers is a world built on carefully maintained appearances. Beneath the Foundation’s polished image lies a maze of secrets, rivalries, hidden agendas, and powerful people who prefer difficult questions to disappear. As threatening messages begin appearing on his phone, Timothy realizes that solving a murder may be considerably more dangerous than writing one.
Refusing to back down, the aspiring author finds himself navigating New York’s elite social circles, awkward workplace politics, suspicious benefactors, and an increasingly complicated murder investigation. The more he learns, the clearer it becomes that someone is willing to do almost anything to keep the truth buried.
Packed with sharp humor, memorable characters, and a delightfully observant take on Manhattan privilege, Suite Charity combines classic amateur-sleuth storytelling with contemporary LGBTQ+ representation and biting social satire. Fans of cozy mysteries, eccentric detectives, and glamorous New York settings will find plenty to love in Timothy Trousdale’s first adventure.
Perfect for readers who enjoy murder mysteries served with clever wit, colorful suspects, and a detective whose greatest qualification is reading far too many mystery novels.
