Brandon is a hopeless romantic. So when a handsome stranger named Jon checks in at the hotel he works at and invites Brandon to his room, Brandon ignores the advice of his crew-a group of loveable and messy queer twenty-somethings-and accepts. What follows is a tale as old as time: they hook up, Jon promises to text, Brandon falls in love, and Jon ghosts. Case closed-or is it?

When Jon checks out early, leaving behind a bag of belongings and his cellphone, Brandon takes the phone and sets out to find him, thinking that this must at last be his Cinderella story.

But he gets more than he bargained for when he witnesses a murder-and sees Jon fleeing the scene.

Determined (and not in over their heads whatsoever), Brandon, Ollie, Nicole, and Ian decide to solve the mystery of the murder and uncover Jon's true identity…they just have to figure it out before a target falls on their own backs.

The Disaster Gay Detective Agency by Lev C. Rosen is a thrilling mystery, full of messy relationships and friends figuring things out. Both funny and full of intrigue, this mystery will keep you glued to the edge of your seat as Brandon and his friends discover the truth of what happens with Jon and manage to keep themselves from being too far out of their depths.

I love that the friends each have different skills but also different ways in which they struggle with life. The book is just as much about the drama of their lives, their relationships and their friendship as it is about the mystery; that adds drama that is as thrilling as the mystery of Jon.

If you like mysteries and messy relationships, I highly recommend this humorous intrigue by Lev C. Rosen. It is a thrilling mystery full of drama and fun with friends figuring out their lives and learning truths about each other. It was a brilliant, funny and interesting read.
