THE LEMON HOUSE MURDERS
By Tucker May
Mystery
A string of mysterious deaths . . . A house full of suspects . . . A secret that will change everything…
When residents of a live-in drug rehabilitation facility called Lemon House start dying one by one, no one in the outside world seems to care.
Two Lemon House patients, nicknamed Trip and Gobstopper, are the only ones who can see the truth: these are murders.
Their quest to find the killer will push their budding relationship to the brink, cast suspicion on everyone locked in the house with them, and force them to question their most cherished beliefs.
The Lemon House Murders is the rare murder mystery that will have you guessing at the culprit AND thinking deeply about theology, society’s relationship toward the downtrodden, and the importance of self-determination to a fulfilling life.

It started with a single glance. It ended in disaster.
The shame hit like a sudden snowfall. It covered every thing and, in a short time, left me numb. Each emotion a unique flake: surprise, outrage, embarrassment, fear. Varying crystalline shapes that together formed the all-encompassing blanket of my self-hatred. It descended, as in escapable as the gravity that drags the cold snow earthward.
I stewed in it, frigid isolation forced upon me, a frozen lock flipped. I fled beneath the sheets. My mind raced, sharp and brittle. What if the night had unfolded differently? What if we’d been left alone to steam and mix like cocoa? What if they hadn’t burst in to shatter and scream and ship me off to a distant and unfamiliar floe where winter lasts a full nine months? What if that bracing and unthawable shift in our relationships hadn’t occurred?
I guess I’ll never know.
