A review by bookcraft
Snowball in Hell by Josh Lanyon

4.0

As usual, Josh Lanyon delivers a great, plotty story. Both Lieutenant Matt Spain and Nathan Doyle are interesting, sympathetic, and real characters, and the evolution of their relationship is believable. Lanyon has obviously done her historical research; the period detail is gorgeous without being overwhelming, and the casual (and not so casual) homophobia of the time is heartbreaking to this modern reader. The mystery is smart, but the clues are sufficient to allow for the solving of it before the reveal if the reader is smart, too.
