Summary
A slow-burning romance and a chilling mystery bind two singular men in the suspenseful first book of a new Victorian series from K. J. Charles.
Lodging-house keeper Clem Talleyfer prefers a quiet life. He's happy with his hobbies, his work - and especially with his lodger Rowley Green, who becomes a friend over their long fireside evenings together. If only neat, precise, irresistible Mr. Green were interested in more than friendship....
Rowley just wants to be left alone - at least until he meets Clem, with his odd, charming ways and his glorious eyes. Two quiet men, lodging in the same house, coming to an understanding...it could be perfect. Then the brutally murdered corpse of another lodger is dumped on their doorstep and their peaceful life is shattered. Now Clem and Rowley find themselves caught up in a mystery, threatened on all sides by violent men, with a deadly London fog closing in on them. If they're to see their way through, the pair must learn to share their secrets - and their hearts.

Entertaining
Another good story though perhaps not the best in the series. The narrator is superb.

Okay but bland and slow
For me, a seasoned KJ reader, this book is slightly below her normal standards. The writing is as good as always, but I have some issues with the story.
The setting is quite interesting (taxidermy! music hall!) and the romance is simple, slow building and really, really consensual, which makes the story intimate but at certain points straining (to use an uglier expression, it drags on). Perhaps this one is just not for me; I am just more drawn to the heart-wrenching excitement and fast pace in her other books. One thing I must point out, however, is the pace: it is so slow that into half of the book I feel nothing has happened—the romance, to be honest, is already there right at the beginning.
The narrator could not be found fault with, although I find his choice of some recurring characters’ voices a bit strange and quite unexpected.

The best of the three
KJ Charles knows how to write about Victorian England and her characters are well-developed. I liked both protagonists in this historical gay fiction and how they were careful not to move to quickly into a relationship. The professions of both mens were original. I never came acros a male lodging-house keeper nor a 'stuffer', before. The narration of this audiobook was marvelous. Because of the narration, this novel is a relisten option for me. I just have to stop myself from grabbing book #2 every time, because this one ends with a bang and I find the next book boring.

Really enjoyed it
Great story. Only wish Clem hadn't been so wet. He made up for it later.

Misdeeds and romance in the fogs of London
I’ve not read any of KJ Charles’ books before but this is a gem. I was transported into a mystery intertwined with a love story set in Victorian London. Can’t wait to start the next book. Loved the narration too got everything right.

Sweet book
A slower more thoughtful book in many ways, but I loved it. It’s nice to have more diversity as well, that’s what I love about Charles, the characters are real.
