Praise for How to Have a Killer Time in DC
“Lumley debuts with a sure-footed romantic mystery featuring a 24-year-old gay, autistic travel writer…Lumley surrounds his gumshoes with a colorful cast of plausible suspects, but the real draw is the sweet and clumsy chemistry between Oliver and Ricky. Cozy fans will hope this heralds the start of a globe-trotting new series.” —Publishers Weekly
“A fledgling travel writer makes a splash in his first out-of-town assignment…That search vies touchingly with Ollie’s inner search into his complicated feelings towards Ricky.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Details of living with autism; sympathetic, well-drawn characters, especially the appealing, naive Oliver; plot twists; and humor distinguish this satisfying cozy.” —Booklist
“Gripping…Oliver narrates with biting humor, weaving together monologues and quick witted dialogue as the mystery unfurls with measured precision, each clue perpetuates the story’s momentum, propelling the pair deeper into unresolved threads and tantalizing loose ends. But the final pages, whispers of deeper corruption, unanswered motives, and lingering suspicions hint at future entanglements for Oliver and Ricky. Their teased chemistry is enough to carry the series into its next detour.”—Foreword Reviews
