A new mystery book series with female and gay leads
This is a contemporary traditional mystery series, featuring a female attorney detective Lucy Sanders. Armando Felan, her young gay Latino assistant and sidekick, is (most of the time) the first person narrator.
Readers have compared their interactions to those of Nero Wolfe and his sidekick Archie Goodwin, and even to Sherlock Holmes series, calling Armando “one of the best new Watsons.” While Lucy’s methods are more cerebral than action-oriented, the stories have twists and turns and climactic action that will keep readers turning the pages.
Using the settings of San Diego, Washington, D.C., and a gay cruise ship, Bishop creates an atmosphere to transport the reader. The books also ground the reader in the border region, Mexican-American culture, and Armando’s experiences as a gay man.
R.H. Bishop
R.H. Bishop is a San Diego-based attorney and the author of the new Lucy Sanders and Armando Felan Mystery Series. Bishop’s mysteries reflect her passion for giving a voice to people who have been marginalized by society. The interactions and characters of sharp-tongued attorney Lucy Sanders and her flighty gay assistant Armando give a light touch to mysteries that will also make you think.
