Lavender House
by Lev AC Rosen
This book had the perfect balance of queer and mystery for me. Andy reminds me a bit of the good-looking Nick Nowak only less slutty and maybe a little less cynical and gritty, and this should be taken as a compliment because Boystown is my all-time favorite PI series.
Filled with a queer household of eccentric characters, this 1950s historical mystery is told in first person from Evander Mills who was recently fired from the San Francisco police department after being caught in a raid on a gay bar and feels like this is the end of the road for him. Out of the blue, he is hired to investigate the accident/possible murder of the head of a local, successful soap company. A good mystery with a variety of suspects living in the same household, I’d liken it to a cross between Agatha Christie and a G-rated Boystown rather than the popular movie that’s been previously referenced. Recommended to semi-closed room mystery lovers.
