The Bell in the Fog Expands Andy Mill’s Queer Community

Lev AC Rosen continues queer detective Andy Mill’s story in The Bell in The Fog that he started in last year’s bestseller Lavender House. You don’t need to read Lavender House to enjoy gay detective Evander “Andy” Mills latest caper. Lev AC Rosen’s newest novel, The Bell in the Fog, can stand on its’ own. The past can come back to haunt you! Andy revisits his Navy past with pals, James and Helen. Andy’s queer community includes his new “Girl Friday” Lee, who’s a she with lipstick on and a he when wearing a suit, hopeful boyfriend and bartender Gene and boss Elsie, owner of The Ruby. A simple blackmail case turns deadly for Andy, who must solve this new mystery before The Ruby goes up in smoke. Thanks to Lev AC Rosen, Forge Books/Tor Publishing Group and NetGalley for the ARC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
