This snippet that first introduces you to the world of mystery and murder. As a poc member of LGBTQ+, I am super excited to see this released during Pride month, and so happy to see a historical fiction murder mystery with queer elements! It has such a stunning cover, and I cannot help but think of the bisexual flag looking at it and lavender's relation to LGBTQ. The first look's tone is terse, but not dry. With a sense of mystery about the narrator that compelled me to want more. It also seems fantastically researched and believable setting-wise, as it is supposed to take place in the 50s!
