This was a fun, quick read. I’m always a sucker for queer historical fiction, and it being a murder mystery didn’t hurt. I hope Rosen creates more novels in this world - I’d be happy to check out Andy’s other investigations.
Check TWs beforehand though, there’s some heavy stuff in this (although accurate to the time period, not done out of shock value).
