Murder She Spoke - Audio Podcast

When a popular mystery novelist dies suspiciously, his writing partner must untangle the author’s connection to a serial killer in award-winning John Copenhaver’s new novel set in 1950s McCarthy-era Washington, DC.
In May 1954, Lionel Kane witnesses his apartment engulfed in flames with his lover and writing partner, Roger Raymond, inside. Police declare it a suicide due to gas ignition, but Lionel refuses to believe Roger was suicidal.
A month earlier, Judy Nightingale and Philippa Watson—the tenacious and troubled heroines from The Savage Kind—attend a lecture by Roger and, being eager fans, befriend him. He has just been fired from his day job at the State Department, another victim of the Lavender Scare, an anti-gay crusade led by figures like Senator Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover, claiming homosexuals are security risks. Little do Judy and Philippa know, but their obsessive manhunt of the past several years has fueled the flames of his dismissal.
They have been tracking their old enemy Adrian Bogdan, a spy and vicious serial killer protected by powerful forces in the government. He’s on the rampage again, and the police are ignoring his crimes. Frustrated, they send their research to the media and their favorite mystery writer anonymously, hoping to inspire someone, somehow, to publish on the crimes—anything to draw Bogdan out. But has their persistence brought deadly forces to the writing team behind their most beloved books?
In the wake of Roger’s death, Lionel searches for clues, but Judy and Philippa threaten his quest, concealing dark secrets of their own. As the crimes of the past and present converge, danger mounts, and the characters race to uncover the truth, even if it means bending their moral boundaries to stop a killer.

John Copenhaver - Hall of Mirrors

It’s a sunny January morning in San Francisco, and John Callaghan, head of the powerful Callaghan crime syndicate, is about to be murdered.
The mystery isn’t why—over the years, he’s made any number of enemies—but rather who. Many candidates are emerging, each with a story to tell: his violent nephew, his skeptical, world-weary lawyer, and his seemingly inept actor son-in-law. There are other complications: a greedy widow demanding money, an ambitious young upstart looking to move up, and rumors of a rat in the union crew.
Can the most dangerous man in San Francisco survive the threats inside his own crime family? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/houseofmysteryradio.

Cassandra Myers - They Shut Me Up

Four years ago, Bryan Hicks left behind a lucrative corporate job to open a bakery with his trans girlfriend, Nadia Brooks. In conservative Houston, Texas, they had to sue a transphobic landlord just to lease a space. Even so, the shop was humming along until the Covid-19 pandemic slowed their business to a trickle. Cash-strapped and desperate, Bryan turns to an unsavory character for a loan; when he's unable to pay it back, he's forced to rent out the bakery to an illegal trans strip show to make some extra cash. The dancers and customers trash the place, and one night it gets so rowdy Bryan fires a gun just to clear the store. How did his dream become such a nightmare? The novel moves back in time to tell the history of the bakery, from the first "love cake" Bryan made for Nadia to Nadia's Hail Mary effort to win cash in a TV baking competition. All the while, Bryan strives to be a supportive father to his queer son and his increasingly right-wing daughter. Can Bryan save his bakery and his relationship with Nadia, or is he about to lose his love and livelihood in one fell swoop? Bell's workmanlike prose captures both the tranquil atmosphere of the bakery and the wild energy of the trans party scene, as here, when Bryan and Nadia visit a strip club: "Now that they were inside, Nadia looked overwhelmed, standing very stiff. She looked scared to touch anything. Bryan grabbed her and led her through the mesh of bodies to the middle bar. He handed Nadia a beer, and they both turned around to check out the raw scene."

Douglas Bell - Love Cake


 An assassin is killing cartel members with lethal precision. Each crime scene leaves more questions than answers, and no one in law enforcement or the intelligence communities has any leads. Except for one man: Navy SEAL turned CIA operative Julian Saunders. He knows they’re hunting for a ghost. Someone the U.S. government declared dead.
Joined by an elite covert operations team, Julian heads to New Orleans, searching for the only person capable of taking the cartel head-on: Elle Anderson. But as the body count rises and the brutality of the kills becomes more intense, he questions whether the woman they knew still exists or if, by pursuing her, they’re signing their own death warrants.
