I have loved every one of Lev A.C. Rosen’s books, largely because of their casts of unapologetically queer characters! Lavender House was an auto-buy book for me, because of how much I have loved their other works, and it was one of my five-star reads this month! I adored the cast of characters and the classic “whodunit” mystery style, especially when set within the fabulous Lamontaine family home. My favorite character was definitely Pearl, though there were so many delightful queer characters that I really struggled to choose one!
The audiobook version of Lavender House was so easy to listen to! I found that the narration made the mystery even more suspenseful. The narrator’s voice had the perfect amount of grit to it, without being difficult to understand. In my mind, Andy’s character requires a gruff voice, which the narrator, Vikas Adam, captured perfectly!
My Recommendation-
I’ve seen this book compared to the movie Knives Out, which works for me on so many levels! If you loved the mansion-mystery family dynamic of Knives Out, and want a book to tide you over until the next movie comes out, you should grab a copy of Lavender House!
