Androgynous Murder House Party: Send Your Regrets Now, Or Regret It Later (Tales from the Back Page)

Six longtime friends gather for a holiday weekend at the Long Island estate of independently wealthy snob Robin Anders. As near-fatal accidents and mishaps mount, Robin is faced with the possibility that one of the six is plotting murder most foul. But no deaths occur until the group returns home to Manhattan. Robin decides to investigate, while the reader is faced with a larger mystery: Are Robin, Lee, Alex, J, Chris, and Law male or female, straight or gay?

Robin Anders, director of new talent at The Goode Foundation in New York City’s bohemian Greenwich Village, has very specific ideas regarding the way proper Manhattanites should behave, and the list of acceptable behaviors does not include murder. But a series of unexpected deaths does visit Robin’s circle of friends. Who will be next-—or can it be that one of Robin’s ménage is the killer? Alex, the beneficiary of both victims, seems a likely suspect. But so do Chris and J, that inseparable couple whose codependence drives Robin to distraction. Is Dr. Terry Rosenthal, one of New York magazine’s Top 10 Therapists in New York City, somehow involved in the dastardly plots? And what of the sybaritic Law, who relies on the largesse of older, wealthier patrons to maintain that enviable lifestyle that is available only to Manhattan’s cultural élite? As you accompany the aggressively androgynous Robin Anders around New York City—as Robin pieces the truth together piece by piece—you may find yourself asking: Who exactly is Robin Anders—male intellectual or female seductress? And are Alex, Chris, Terry, and Lee male or female, straight or gay? All will be revealed in the final chapter of Steven Rigolosi’s Androgynous Murder House Party...perhaps.
