Blackmail, My Love: A Murder Mystery by Katie Gilmartin

4.0

Starting off like a gumshoe detective story at the beginning, the book quickly became a fictionalized account of the harrassment of the LGBT community in San Francisco in the late 50s / early 60s.
Josie/Joe has come to town to find out why her brother did not contact her in her birthday. She learns about corruption in the police force and a strong loving community of gays, lesbians, etc.
I enjoyed the story and the writing. I think a bit more knowledge of the gay community would have helped me understand a few things but that didn't ruin the book.
