Just read Lavender House, a murder mystery set during the Lavender Scare and gay-bashing in 1950s San Francisco.

Sometimes you want a neat little mystery that does exactly what the genre says it’s supposed to do. Sometimes you want it to be super gay.

If that is the case and if you don’t mind a few graphic police beatings of gay men, this is the book you want.

CWs: gay-bashing, homophobia, violence, obviously murder, infidelity.
