A Murder Mystery Series With a Gay Couple at the Center — Here's What H.N. Hirsch Built and Why It Matters

Most murder mystery series follow a familiar template. H.N. Hirsch's Rain series does something different — placing a dynamic gay couple at the heart of the story and weaving themes of acceptance, love, and identity through a thriller narrative that works equally well as a page-turning mystery and as a quietly groundbreaking piece of inclusive storytelling. What he shares with Stacey Chillemi about the world he built in the Rain series, the creative decisions that make diversity and inclusivity feel organic rather than performative within the genre, and what inspired him to write the kind of mystery he wanted to read but could not find will give you the most personally revealing and creatively fascinating author conversation you have encountered. Great mysteries ask who did it. The best ones also ask who we are. This series does both. Explore the captivating world of H.N.
