Description
Description
Wrongly accused of her murder, beloved female impersonator Helena Handbasket forsakes her oceanside mansion and goes undercover to track down those responsible. Aided by her chosen family, she uses her comic genius and extraordinary talent for impersonation to navigate a maze of deception and greed that includes a museum break-in, thefts of iconic artwork, and some shady liaisons. As the investigation gains momentum, the past increasingly influences the present, exposing hidden secrets and imperiling Helena's well-heeled existence.
Set amid Cape Cod's natural beauty and vibrant summer season, this captivating sequel to The HomePort Journals unfolds against the backdrop of a small town struggling to balance its newfound celebrity with a cherished way of life.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"The mystery charms and surprises, but the novel's deeper joy is its enticing depiction of a town and its people proudly out of the mainstream-the prose, plot, and dialogue gush and bubble like champagne uncorked."
-BookLife byPublisher's WeeklyEditor's Pick
"In many ways, the tale is a timely tribute to the resilient, connecting spirit of drag performance and a push against the current political storm of misunderstanding and hatred."
-Kate Robinson, US Review of Books, Recommended Review"Burch summons
Provincetown's eclectic, art-and-barnacles ethos with an eye for detail and
plenty of campy humor. . ."
-KirkusReviews
"In The Distance Between Us, Burch has crafted an
intricate yet heartfelt page-turner that leaves readers engaged to the last."
-Genevieve Hartman, Independent Book Review"A remarkable story of love, loss, and the enduring power of friendship. Burch draws his characters
deftly, and the mystery he embeds at the center of the story is tantalizing and
satisfying. A gem of a book!"
-Jeannette de BeauvoirAuthor, The SydneyRiley Mysteries"Readers, book clubs, and libraries seeking LGBTQ+ examinations, Cape Cod cultural inspections,
mysteries, and novels packed with social inquiry will welcome the threads of humor and serious inspection that capture the multifaceted world that is Cape Cod, a microcosm of small-town experiences and change."
-D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, MidWest Review of Books"The plot unfolds at a steady clip, the action while approaching zaniness never goes off the rails. . . It is a winner from A.C. Burch - twisty, engaging, and balanced." -Philip Zozzaro, The Book Commentary
