The Birchwood Academy Files Series by Jade Astor (Books #1-3)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3 mb
Overview: Jade Astor is a longtime fan of both paranormal and male-male love stories. She was delighted to find a thriving community of like-minded writers and readers in the ebook industry.
When she is not writing, Jade enjoys sculpting, tinkering with computers, and training (and retraining) her small herd of unruly but adorable rescued Chihuahuas.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller MM
Murder at Birchwood Pond (#1)
Darian Winter is settling in as a new instructor at Birchwood Academy, an exclusive boys’ prep school in New England. As a reasonably open gay man with two devoted moms in a same-sex marriage, Darian has to be careful in the school’s formal and somewhat conservative atmosphere. One morning, he is jogging near the campus pond when he comes across a shocking scene: Timothy Pryor, an 18-year-old student taking a gap year at the school, is floating dead in the water.
Timothy stood out at Birchwood for many reasons, and none of them involved his academic prowess. Wealthy, brash, and completely at ease with his sexuality, Timothy routinely bragged of having affairs with students and faculty members alike. Now someone has murdered him right on school grounds—and Darian might be the prime suspect thanks to his sexuality and his familiarity with the victim.
Soon the quiet campus is abuzz with law enforcement personnel, including the town’s dour but undeniably attractive sheriff, Arthur “Argo” Sullivan. Though Darian is outraged when Argo seems to consider him a suspect in Timothy’s death, he soon discovers that the sheriff, like almost everyone at Birchwood Academy, is hiding a shocking secret. While Darian struggles to figure out exactly how the various strands weave together, another death jolts the small community. If he can’t work out the answer in time, he knows there will be more.
Murder in the Shadows (#2)
With the murders at Birchwood Academy thankfully behind him, Darian Winter hopes to enjoy the rest of fall and winter working on his relationship with the unpredictable but undeniably sexy Sheriff Argo Sullivan. Things seem to be going perfectly until a near-tragedy causes him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about Argo and the connection between them.
A welcome diversion arrives in the form of Victor Reece, an actor who is making a gay-themed horror film on a nearby estate. Grateful for the distraction from his relationship woes, Darian agrees to volunteer on the set while he figures out a way to move forward with Argo. Unfortunately, the script isn’t the only source of horror once the production gets underway. Before he knows what’s happening, Darian discovers the body of another murder victim…and finds himself in Argo’s orbit as a possible suspect yet again. Before Darian can prove his innocence a second time, a deadly blizzard traps him in the isolated house with the cast of the film, one of whom is most likely a killer. Even if he can solve this crime, too, he realizes he might not live long enough to win Argo back.
Note: This book follows The Birchwood Academy Files 1: Murder at Birchwood Pond, but can be read as a standalone.
Murder among the Palms (#3)
Now that his relationship with Sheriff Argo Sullivan is back on track, Darian looks forward to introducing him to his two mothers during his holiday break from teaching. Unfortunately, their romantic getaway to Florida soon turns out to be anything but relaxing. As soon as they arrive, Darian is shocked to find his family in disarray. Gabrielle Duval, a wealthy hotel owner, has given one of his moms a prestigious job and seems to have more on her mind than just business. Thanks to her meddling, the atmosphere at home is toxic with secrets, suspicion, and even talk of divorce.
Before long, things go from bad to worse when Darian and Argo find Gabrielle murdered after a confrontation at a swanky holiday party. With the local police on the verge of arresting one or both of his moms, and Argo far from his own jurisdiction, Darian must solve yet another murder if he has any chance for a happy ending of his own.
And speaking of domestic drama, what exactly is the reason for Detective Stuart Lanislaw’s special interest in Argo?
