The latest book, ‘A Murder Most Camp’, by Nicolas DiDomizio, is set to take readers on a hilarious journey through a summer camp gone awry for Mikey Hartford IV, a self-proclaimed “gorgeous 29-year-old trust fund gay.” The author, known for his previous romantic comedies like ‘Nearly Wed’ and ‘The Gay Best Friend’, is stepping into the mystery genre with this upcoming release from Sourcebooks.
The novel follows the story of Mikey, whose carefree life of luxury faces a sudden twist when his father threatens to cut him off from his trust fund due to reckless spending habits. In a bid to prove himself before his 30th birthday and earn back his inheritance, Mikey finds himself at Camp Lore, a struggling summer camp in upstate New York.
As the oldest and least qualified staff member, Mikey must navigate the challenges of rustic living conditions and a group of enthusiastic preteens. Things take a dark turn when the campers become fixated on a local legend surrounding an abandoned cabin, revealing a hidden murder mystery that someone is determined to keep buried.
Described as a blend of ‘The Guncle’ and ‘Every Time I Go On Vacation Someone Dies’, this novel marks a new chapter in DiDomizio’s career, combining elements of campy humour, mystery, and romance. The author shares that the inspiration for the book stems from his love for ‘Clueless’, Alfred Hitchcock, the charm of upstate New York, and the iconic Y2K hit ‘Can’t Fight the Moonlight’ by LeAnn Rimes.
In an exclusive excerpt provided by PEOPLE, readers get a glimpse into Mikey’s arrival at Camp Lore and the surprising revelations awaiting him. From eccentric characters to uncanny occurrences, the narrative promises a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected twists.
With a release date set for April 28, 2026, ‘A Murder Most Camp’ is now available for pre-order, offering an engaging blend of comedy, mystery, and heartwarming moments.
