Lavender House is a historical murder mystery that takes place at a queer "safe house." I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this story as well as the fullness of the characters. The story itself can be dark and gritty but things get wrapped up well. While I would definitely recommend this for anyone interested in a historical queer whodunit, be sure to check trigger warnings before picking this book up!
