Death In The Spires by KJ Charles

4.0

Edwardian mystery by KJ Charles, about an unsolved murder that happened at Oxford, 10 years earlier. I enjoyed this, although it wasn’t as immersive as I was hoping for.

 I happened to have read Maurice earlier this year, so it was interesting to read another book about queer young men navigating Oxford in Edwardian England. Death in the Spires 

I tend to focus on the characters and relationships when I read a mystery, rather than on solving the mystery and this book lends itself to that style of reading. 

This is a mystery with a low key romance, but is definitely not a genre romance - the mystery, not the romance is central.
