KJ Charles has always had elements of murder mystery to her books, so it's not surprising to have her putting it front and center now with the M/M romance secondary. And what a rewarding read. Charles managed to make the characters under suspicion loveable, though I didn't trust one, rightfully so. I appreciate her focus on making her heroes from the lower class. It makes them so much more relatable.
