Love and Murder on Quarantine Island — Michael Thomas Ford

When Charlie Guest gets dragged along on a cruise by his friend Martin, he thinks his biggest worry will be seasickness. But when an outbreak forces some of the passengers to quarantine in paradise, things take a decidedly different turn, especially after a body turns up in a pool. Everyone is a suspect. With a cast that includes an aging Hollywood bit player, a closeted rising politician, a recent Oscar winner, a charming drag queen - and a hunky mystery man who might or might not be a former ‘80s porn star - Michael Thomas Ford's latest hysterical novel blends romance and mystery into an intoxicating cocktail that just happens to be perfect for escaping the boredom of social distancing. Michael Thomas Ford is a five-time winner of the Lambda Literary Award, in the categories of mystery, humor, and romance. The author of numerous books, he has been called “a delightfully inventive wit” by Publishers Weekly. His novels include Last Summer, Jane Bites Back, What We Remember, Lily (a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award), and Love & Other Curses.
