Hollywood, 1939.

When film director Orland Orcott is found dead in his locked study, police rule it a suicide. However, movie star Victor Marvel believes otherwise and sets out to investigate, aided by his handsome boyfriend, Griffin, and Eve Spellman, Victor’s smart, young costar.

Suspects include Orland’s son, Tab, an aspiring actor who was blacklisted after his father found out that he’s gay, and Sheila, a former mistress of Orland’s, tossed aside when he took up with a new starlet. Added to the list are William Taylor, a has-been that Orland delighted in humiliating, William’s daughter Lydia, who may have slept with Orland to get her father a movie role. Agatha Mudd, a gossip columnist with a secret past is also a suspect, and Orland’s long-suffering wife, Marjorie.

Was it suicide or murder? The trio is on the case to find the truth, but suspects and grudges abound. With so many motives for murder, finding the killer won’t be easy. But no one else cares as long as Orland Orcott is dead.

Library director Jasmine Harald has no desire to attract police attention, not since a murder made her temporarily shut down her precious library. But now Jazz needs the cops. One of her favorite students is dead, and everyone believes he died by suicide. She’s certain the police can help her prove them wrong.

University police officer Cappy Flannery understands too well the pain suicide can bring to family and friends. She doesn’t believe this death suspicious—simply a young man who couldn’t cope with the loss of his promising future as a star football player. She agrees to investigate more thoroughly because her sergeant ordered her to even though she thinks it’s a waste of time.

As secrets are uncovered, Cappy and Jazz realize that the case—and their growing feelings for each other—are more complex than either of them expected.

Detective Inspector Jo Shaw is bored, desk-bound, and absolutely not supposed to answer the phone call that sends her to a body in an empty house. Thrown in at the deep end after an injury that almost killed her, she’s determined to prove she’s fit to work. And while a case full of unclear motives and multiple suspects isn’t quite what the doctor ordered, being back in a relationship with her favorite doctor certainly won’t hurt.

When the investigation takes a chilling turn and the Serious Crime Team struggles to connect the dots, Jo asks Isla Munro to help her follow the slenderest of leads. It’s a lead that will take her away from Moorside’s deprived streets and into the lives of the rich and privileged. But these people will do anything to preserve their own interests, and Jo is putting herself—and those closest to her—directly in their line of fire.

But the clock is ticking, and lives are on the line. And if she doesn’t figure out a way to remain focused and keep her head in the game, hers will undoubtedly be one of them.

When Milo agreed to accompany his friend Mark for a weekend getaway with six other men in northern Arizona, he did not anticipate a snowstorm stranding them all in their lodge. But they make the best of it. Their biggest concern is how they’re going to entertain themselves until the snowstorm ends.

Complicating things for Milo is his secret attraction to Mark, not to mention Mark’s renewed attraction to his handsome ex-boyfriend, Brick, who seems like he wants to rekindle the relationship.

But all is not as it seems in their cozy snow-covered lodge. When one of them is found brutally murdered, tension between the friends escalates. It seems that everyone has their secrets, and some of those secrets are proving deadly. Suspicion mounts as each person wonders who is behind the killing, and why.

With no way to contact the authorities, it’s up to Milo and Mark to discover which of their friends is the murderer and stop him before they become the next target.

 

Praise from Kings River Life Magazine: "Fatal Foul Play...features friends Mark and Milo. Mark is invited by his ex-boyfriend Brick to a weekend getaway for his birthday together with a group of their friends...The group ends up being snowed in at the cabin...The boredom of being snowed in doesn’t last long as an attempted murder, and then an actual murder, turn this into a closed circle mystery where the only possible suspects are the friends themselves.

The mystery was filled with plenty of twists and turns and kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters were complex and interesting, and David threw in plenty of relationship drama as well—and a budding new romance. If you are looking for a fun quick read that has almost as much gay romance drama as it does mystery, then be sure to pick up Fatal Foul Play."
