Private Detective Evander "Andy" Mills has been drawn back to the Lavender House estate for a missing person case. Pat, the family butler, has been volunteering for a book service, one that specializes in mailing queer books to a carefully guarded list of subscribers. With bookseller Howard Salzberger gone suspiciously missing along with his address book, everyone on that list, including some of Andy's closest friends, is now in danger. A search of Howard's bookstore reveals that someone wanted to stop him and his co-owner, Dorothea Lamb, from sending out their next book. The evidence points not just to the Feds, but to the Mafia, who would be happy to use the subscriber list for blackmail. Andy has to maneuver through both the government and the criminal world, all while dealing with a nosy reporter who remembers him from his days as a police detective and wants to know why he's no longer a cop. With his own secrets closing in on him, can Andy find the list before all the lives on it are at risk? Set in atmospheric 1950s San Francisco, Rough Pages asks who is allowed to tell their own stories, and how far would you go to seek out the truth.

My pick for February is Rough Pages. It‘s the third book in the Evander Mills series, which I continue to enjoy.

Someday I‘m going to finish those carry over books. 🙂

Not as successful as the second book in this series (still waiting on the first one from interlibrary loan) but a good read nonetheless. Really enjoy these characters and the concept of the series.

Rosen does a swell job evoking classic 1950s film noir vibes while filling the story with a diverse queer cast and a complicated gay ex-cop P.I. reckoning with the implications of his past career. The themes -- book banning, government censorship, the utter importance of queer people seeing themselves reflected in books -- are beautifully evoked. Highly recommended as a puzzling mystery and a richly imagined 1950s San Francisco historical fiction.

Very twisty. I love this series & Vikas Adam‘s audio narration is so perfect for the 1950s film noir vibe. This ties in to the importance of storytelling & atrocious book bans. & as always I love Andy adapting to & growing his life.
