A delicious story from a new voice in suspense, Lev AC
Rosen's Lavender House is Knives
Out with a queer historical twist.
Lavender
House, 1952: the family seat of recently deceased matriarch
Irene Lamontaine, head of the famous Lamontaine soap empire.
Irene’s recipes for her signature scents are a well
guarded secret—but it's not the only one behind these
gates. This estate offers a unique freedom, where none of
the residents or staff hide who they are. But to keep their
secret, they've needed to keep others out. And now they're
worried they're keeping a murderer in.
Irene’s widow hires Evander Mills to uncover the
truth behind her mysterious death. Andy, recently fired from
the San Francisco police after being caught in a raid on a
gay bar, is happy to accept—his calendar is wide open.
And his secret is the kind of secret the Lamontaines
understand.
Andy had never imagined a world like
Lavender House. He's seduced by the safety and freedom found
behind its gates, where a queer family lives honestly and
openly. But that honesty doesn't extend to everything, and
he quickly finds himself a pawn in a family game of old
money, subterfuge, and jealousy—and Irene’s
death is only the beginning.
When your existence
is a crime, everything you do is criminal, and the gates of
Lavender House can’t lock out the real world forever.
Running a soap empire can be a dirty business.
