He's to Die For
by Erin Dunn
The writing quality of this is fine but I think I’m at the point in my life where I’m too ACAB to enjoy a cop mystery especially one that’s a romance. What really irked me was the inane bad apples conversation. Frankly I would have preferred if the author just hadn’t addressed the issue. By calling attention to the moral nightmare that cops are you then turn your novel in to cop apologia. I also could not stand the stupid Harry Potter references. It’s 2025 you should not be referencing those racist, fatphobic, antisemitic books written by a virulent transphobe especially in a queer romance. It’s tacky and in combination with the cop love tells me all I need to know about your political beliefs.
Finally not related to my moral objections, the romance was so lukewarm it felt like nothing. You can’t comp your book to the Charm Offensive and then have absolutely no tension. If you’re going to comp your book to an existing novel at least make them similar PLEASE.
