Publisher's summary

London 1885:

For Lord Everett Stanley, escaping his fate seemed impossible. As the second son, he’s destined for ordination and the life of a Reverend, but he’s hiding a dangerous secret. The laws punishing homosexuality by hanging may have been repealed but he and others of his kind are far from safe. Given no other choice, they take solace in the underground molly houses of London. Now that fragile world is threatened when the East End is rocked by a series of gruesome murders.

Inspector Archibald Franklin worked hard to overcome his working-class roots, making a name for himself as a respected inspector of Whitechapel’s H Division, but when he begins to investigate the deaths of several beautiful young men, fate throws him into the path of the handsome and enigmatic Lord Stanley. His gut instinct tells him the young lord knows more about the murders than he lets on, but the closer he gets, the more Everett calls to him in a way he’s tried to deny his whole life.

As a reign of terror grips London, they are drawn together in order to stop a monster, but for Archie, the growing feelings he has for Everett are a betrayal of the very laws he has sworn to uphold. And as the killer closes in, the two men find themselves bound together by a passion that may be their ultimate salvation or their utter destruction…

A Great Mix of Mystery, Suspense, and Romance

Engaging characters, and (without spoilers) this series is heading in an intriguing direction with hinted at character arcs that IMO are a more interesting than some other M4M 1880s/1890s mystery fiction. And terrific narration.

Dark Mystery

This is a great mystery story. The plot is complex, the MCs and the side characters are well written, and it feels like a dark noir. It has a slow burn element BUT it is NOT really a romance. Highly recommend if you want mystery and not romance. It is very different from the Dead Serious series. **spoiler ahead**


This does not have a HEA or a HFN. The story will continue in the series so who knows but the ending was depressing for lack of a better word. I was looking for a mystery romance and I probably would not have listened to it right now if I had known it would end on such a sour note.

Did we need more dead and illegal queer people?

This book was so depressing. That’s in part because it’s so well written. And well narrated. But this is just not a time and place when I want to read about being scared, being illegal, being murdered. I could just take my gay butt to Florida or Texas. Or Montana. Or rural Oregon. It’s hard to feel safe these days. People loving this better get out and vote in our favor is all I’m saying, this is not distant history. The ending made me feel dead inside.
