✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨
Murder at the Matinee by Jamie West
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
[instagram]
Jamie West has delivered another fun, cosy, exciting murder mystery with Murder at the Matinee.
I loved being back with Bertie and Hugh and the theatre. I was so sad when I thought they weren’t going to be working together and was so glad when I’d been over dramatically wrong.
Bertie is such an easy character to love. He’s gentle and affable and I think it’s him more than anything that makes me classify these books as cosy. It’s like settling in with an old friend.
The murder mystery was fun. Another somewhat closed-door mystery, which I don’t read nearly enough of. I didn’t pick the murderer at all, though I’m never very good at that to begin with, but it sure kept me guessing.
If you’re looking for a light murder mystery to read in the upcoming season, I definitely recommend picking this one up.

Queer Books for Pride Month:
"Death in the Spires" by KJ Charles
This book is a murder mystery rather than romance.
It's still queer of course, but it focuses entirely on solving the murder of Toby Faysham.
Our narrator, Jeremy Kite, has only one thing in mind, so he begins to track down people who might've been connected with Toby's death.
This is a cleverly done dual-timeline story, told entirely in Jeremy's POV.
We start in 1905, ten years on from the murder.
The book forces us to sit with questions of justice, forgiveness and who can truly judge people's sins.
This is definetly a more serious read, but nonetheless absolutely worth it.

A Queer Historical Murder Mystery To Fall In Love With
How could I resist Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen after hearing it was a historical fiction murder mystery where the main character is a gay man in the 1950s who gets employed by the wife of a soap dynasty businesswoman to investigate the death of said businesswoman? Not only is it LGBTQ representation, but its representation given by an author who identifies with the LGBTQ community. Someone who…

Benoit Blanc & Sherlock Holmes both prove that the best detectives aren’t actual trained detectives but nosy gay men who drink their respect women juice and hate the rich.

People badmouthing Cath are kind of missing the point.
Dulcie and Cath are not in a good place during the show, that is the very essence of their particular story during the season. Cath is trying to make a perfect life for them by doing anything and everything possible to brute force it into existence because of the resentment she still has towards her wife. Dulcie, in turn, has resigned herself to this as a form of penance.
They are both unhappy and it is only through the honest airing of their issues and the dismantling of their calcified current selves that their relationship can actually recover. Cath has to listen but, just as vitally, Dulcie has to speak.
Trying to paint Cath as this horrible person or whatever is just the weakest of analysis or criticism, it is such a myopic, surface level nothing of a read. And frankly it does the show and everyone who worked on it a great disservice to try to flatten any part of it down to something as simple as “Cath = bad”.
And the last thing we need is more sainted queer characters in media, give me these messy women all day, every day.

KJ Charles is an absolute liar, pass it on.
#death in the spires#this is literally one of the most aching love stories she's written lmao#she also says it's a hate letter to oxford university while writing descriptions of it more involved and evocative than alexis hall's#then again she's an anarchist writing regency romance so the lines between love and hate for her are clearly as blurred as they are for me#kj charles#book reccs#book reccomendation#queer historical fiction#queer historical romance#historical fiction#historical mystery#murder mystery#knee of huss

Philip Lombard
from And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

#yikes the original title of this book...#researching this one led me down a few adhd-induced rabbit holes#like this book alludes to a character being eaten by a red herring at the start. but it's not a 'red herring' trope. he actually does drown#interestingly- the idea of a 'red herring' plot device predates this book by 70 years. so agatha christie was surely aware of the#connotations of a red herring in a murder mystery. if anything making the red herring allusion unexpectedly true is a red herring in itself#I also found an entry for this guy on “sexypedia.fandom.com” which mentioned that he fulfils the “johnlocked” trope - meaning that he and#vera are often paired together despite not being romantically involved in canon. the trope name is indeed after john and sherlock#which is frankly bizarre. the phenomenon of two characters being arbitrarily paired together without a canon basis is a very real issue#but in what world are sherlock and john an example of that?#anyway#and then there were none#agatha christie#classic literature#polls#queer#new post
