This book was a miss for me. While I find KJ Charles to be a really talented writer, the dynamic between Archie and Daniel was dysfunctional at best and toxic at worst. Even though Archie chooses Daniel at the end, it feels reluctant given his hostility throughout the early book. Even more than hostility, his overt homophobia, racism and anti-Semitism make him pretty irredeemable to me. Learning the errors of his ways does not absolve him of being a straight up jerk to his love interest.

really liked this! like with proper english, i'm not normally a fan of murder mystery (and i did find this one a bit graphic despite the content warnings provided on storygraph), however this one had some really interesting conversations in it about queer identity in the early 20th century, and disability in the post-WW1 period. also i thought the main couple had great chemistry.

After I learned that

DS from The Will Darling Adventures had his own book

I knew I had to read it. But even tho it's not directly connected it was a great story on its own.
