This book was fantastic! I absolutely love KJ's historical romances, including the ones with a healthy serving of action or mystery, so I felt pretty confident I would enjoy her foray into the non-romance genre as well. And enjoy it I did! While the main focus of Death in the Spires is on the mystery, there is still a delightful dash of queer romance and friendship. As always, KJ's historical research is impeccable and I enjoy the mix of historical accuracy with a touch of progressive tone.

(This was a review of a free advanced review copy. Thanks to Storm, KJ Charles, and NetGalley for that privilege!)
