Secrets in the Split-Level: Gay Cozy Mysteries

By Griff Holland

Secrets in the Split-Level
A Gay Cozy Mystery by Griff Holland
Beneath the manicured lawns and friendly waves of Mapleton Heights, secrets fester in the foundations.
When beloved real estate agent Dean Holt is found strangled at a neighborhood brunch-wearing a pair of red heels and surrounded by half-eaten cherry cobbler-the illusion of small-town perfection begins to crack. And no one feels it more than Theo Price, Mapleton's quick-witted mail carrier with a talent for noticing what others overlook.
Determined to uncover the truth, Theo joins forces with Officer Jake Vasquez, a gruff local cop with a past he's not ready to share. Their investigation takes them deep into crawlspaces, coded invitations, and memories long buried, exposing a hidden network of men who once gathered in the basements of Mapleton's split-level homes-not for parties, but for survival.
As another body surfaces and the town's most powerful residents close ranks, Theo must decide how much he's willing to risk-for justice, for truth, and for the chance to love a man who's only just beginning to step into the light.
With rich characters, slow-burn romance, and a mystery that peels back the wallpaper of a picture-perfect community, Secrets in the Split-Level is the second heart-pounding entry in Griff Holland's Gay Cozy Mystery Series.
Where there are closets, there are always secrets.
And sometimes, the dead don't stay buried.
