Heavy Gilt

"Guess who's coming to dinner at Hilary and Dru's restored Victorian home? A most attractive mystery writer, and her vexatious weekend lover. Their houseguest, a world-famous novelist. Two partners who own a bookstore and quietly publish lesbian and gay poetry, and their startling houseguest, who is well along in the process of turning himself into herself...Sarah and Farnsworth Lightfoot, eccentric fifty-year old twins. Hilary's homophobic brother Malcolm, and his wife Maggie. And Dru's younger sister Bettina, a notorious lesbian-feminist writer infatuated with the attractive mystery writer, and blithely confident that a little consciousness raising would flush all of these politically incorrect folk right out of their various silly closets. But then, during the dinner party, homophobic Malcolm vanishes. Is he dead? And if he's not dead, where on earth is he? Enter the beauteous private detective Tyler Divine, who has much to sort through: suspicious goings-on and numerous suspects--and her own attraction to the alluring mystery writer..." -- Publisher's description.
