MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW
"The Lemon House Murders" by Tucker May plunges into the dark heart of a live-in drug rehabilitation facility, the Lemon House, where a series of unexplained deaths begin to occur. Unbeknownst to the indifferent outside world, these are not accidental or natural deaths, but calculated murders.
Two residents of Lemon House, known by their nicknames Trip and Gobstopper, are the only ones who recognize the sinister pattern of the murders. As they embark on a dangerous quest to uncover the killer among them, their burgeoning relationship is tested to its limits. The investigation casts suspicion on all the individuals confined within the house, forcing Trip and Gobstopper to confront difficult truths about their fellow residents and themselves.
More than just a whodunit, "The Lemon House Murders" is described as a page turner and thought-provoking murder mystery that delves into profound themes. Readers are challenged to consider theological questions, society's treatment. There exists a tense atmosphere where everyone inside the house is a potential suspect. As they delve deeper, their own budding relationship is pushed to its limits by the stress and danger. They are compelled to confront not only the killer but also their own deeply held beliefs and the harsh realities of their situation.
Truly a fascinating read for crime readers and who love mystery novels.
BLURB
A string of mysterious deaths . . . A house full of suspects . . . A secret that will change everything . . .
