****Angel Food and Devil Dogs – A classic who-done-it style mystery with more than a touch of lesbian romance.****
As private detective Maggie Gale works to prove the innocence of a mentally challenged pinball wizard who’s been arrested for murder, she is called to college president Max Bouchet’s office to discuss the suspicious suicide of a gay professor. There, Maggie shakes hands with the attractive Dr. Kathryn Anthony, who smiles at her with a faint but unmistakable touch of lust. Maggie is hired and meets a collection of quirky suspects, one of whom might just be a murderer. Maggie’s humorous and caring friends and family support her as she works against escalating danger, and toward escalating romantic encounters with Kathryn.
Will Maggie untangle both mysteries? Will the sexual tension swirling around Maggie and Kathryn pull them together? Or will the murderer target Maggie before she gets either chance?
From the Valley Gay Press Book Review:
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR ANGEL FOOD AND DEVIL DOGS…
“ANGEL FOOD AND DEVIL DOGS” IS DELICIOUS!!!”
FIVE STARS AND HIGH PRAISE FOR LIZ BRADBURY’s Debut Lesbian Mystery/Romance Angel Food and Devil Dogs — Read and become a part of this highly stimulating, brilliantly written novel. You won’t be disappointed!
When was the last time you read a tightly plotted mystery…that actually had a lesbian main character… who is pursuing and being pursued by another lesbian character…for more than just the vague mention of a relationship?
While Private Detective Maggie Gale is working on a case with her younger sister, attorney Sara Martinez, Maggie is called to Irwin College, to investigate the suspicious death of music professor Carl Rasmus. These two complex mysteries each strike deep emotional chords in this surprisingly artistic Private Eye.
As Maggie begins to encounter the cast of quirky, well-drawn suspects; enter…Dr. Kathryn Anthony. She’s drop-dead gorgeous, sexy, smart…entrancing…a Muse– Kathryn beckons, and Maggie follows:
“She faced me for what seemed like an age, but what was probably a second. She took a breath, then she made a soft demand, ‘Undress me.’ That’s something you’ll be remembering for the rest of your life, flashed through my mind. I hadn’t expected anything so specific. My legs almost gave way. I reached for the top button of her shirt. My hands were trembling. I undid two. She put her hand on the back of my neck and pulled me toward her for a long passionate kiss. Her lips were deliciously soft. She tasted wonderful, like everything I’d ever wanted.”
The sexual tension builds as the mysteries weave dangerously, keeping you guessing, with Maggie and Kathryn caught right in the middle.
If you are looking for sex, romance, and intrigue (and who isn’t) then you’ve come to the right place. Author Liz Bradbury has infused her savvy protagonist, with strength, humor, passion, intelligence and the awareness that her life is missing something. The result? Maggie has become one of my all-time favorite characters. I’m hoping this series goes on for at least a dozen more volumes.
