Bright & Beautiful

Meet the Rev. Alma Lee, the most entertaining clergy sleuth in glittery, gay, and glorious San Francisco. Her passion for justice is matched only by her compassion for the downtrodden. Don't let her flightiness fool you—her knowledge of the city and keen understanding of people mean murderers don't stand a chance.  Dumped by her would-be soulmate Rabbi Naomi Cohen and dogged by a pushy organizational coach, she is itching for a distraction. 

"Alma, there's been a murder at the cathedral…"

When the brilliant and beautiful poet laureate of California turns up dead on the labyrinth at Grace Cathedral, Alma thrills to receive a license to meddle. The bishop appoints her as his police liaison and introduces her to the victim's family. The Goughs are a big name in San Francisco with strong ties to the church Alma serves.   

As Alma tracks the culprit through San Francisco's organized crime scene, posh private schools, and the British aristocracy's Instagram accounts, Naomi, Damien—the charming Dean of the Cathedral, and Alma's ex-boyfriend Cesar Garza all scramble to be her Dr. Watson. But ultimately, Alma must trust her own instincts to find the killer.

Can she solve the case before more lives are lost at Grace Cathedral?
