Historical thriller with some queer romance.

4 étoiles

Avertissement sur le contenu domestic abuse mention. mild spoiler about ending.

It must by my month to read queer romance, I just finished "Paladin's Hope" a week or so ago. This is not as romantic (more YA than R) but arguably more interesting as a detective story. One potentially disturbing aspect is that the protagonist lives with a physically and emotionally abusive father, and doesn't really escape.
