If you like tropey pulpy detective novels and are queer, this is a fun time. Be warned that the terminology and ideology are quite 90's (especially for bi and trans people), but it is more diverse than I expected. I loved how pretty much every character was extremely messy and out for their own interests. While it is fictional I kept being struct by how the problems the community faces haven't really changes from bigots to rainbow capitalism. It's not the best written book but I had a lot of fun, and it's even more special because I got this book about a murder in the Gay and Lesbian archive at the Lesbian Archive at Pride.
