About the Book

Sometimes, dark secrets don't fade with the years. Instead, they grow darker.Meghan Auric lives in self-imposed confinement atop a luxurious tower, the tallest building overlooking a small city on the Great Plains. Dark secrets and a long-ago betrayal put her there, while debilitating fears and guilt have kept her there. The upside: her much older husband's recent death has made her one of the wealthiest women in the state, and she intends to put those riches to a more noble use than he did. But now, political developments in a special election begin to unravel what really happened more than twenty-five years ago, offering her the chance to escape her gilded cage and to reap justice-as well as revenge. The downside: pursuing this truth would likely cause her to lose everything. With a wry sense of humor that never fails her, Meghan searches for the courage to begin her journey from self-doubt and isolation. Getting there won't be easy, though, with obstacles along the way that threaten not only her lavish lifestyle-but possibly life itself.

Review :
"In this sparkling, suspense-tinged study of wealth and isolation, Craft introduces recently widowed Meghan Auric, who struggles with a terrible secret from her past. Craft wrings insight, pathos, and beauty from Meghan's rarefied milieu. He seizes the symbolic potential of her tower residence to heighten the suspense, evoke emotional resonance, and offer breathtaking views in crisp, lyrical prose." - BookLife Reviews (Editor's Pick) "In Craft's novel, a middle-aged woman loses her wealthy, elderly husband and finds herself embroiled in a political crime caper. A slow-burning but ultimately uplifting novel of second chances, the tale deftly explores compelling themes of self-discovery, loss, and rebuilding self-respect." - Kirkus Reviews "I loved Not Our Crowd, Darling, in which some bad people actually get punished and journalism still makes a difference. Meghan Auric is a refreshing hero for our trying times, a moral intellectual trapped in a 'trophy wife' role who dares to confront past fears and speak the truth to power. She also makes amazing gelato." - M.G. Lord, author of Forever Barbie "Not Our Crowd, Darling departs from Michael Craft's previous cozy gay mysteries in presenting a powerful story of a self-described 'trophy wife' who seeks change. Wry humor, psychological revelations, and simmering mystery result in a novel that is embracing and engaging, spiced with just enough suspense to keep its outcome satisfyingly unpredictable." - Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
