Cosy queer mystery set in Salt Lake City. Ben has moved home after his divorce and to help his dad with his game shop. A less than honest game dealer turns up murdered outside the shop. To avoid being arrested, Ben and his friend Ezra do some sleuthing.
- I loved the setting and the cosy scenes from this book, especially surrounding Ben and some blossoming romance. Also, the pets are awesome, especially Grandpa.
- The mystery is okay. It's not Agatha Christie level but it's fun if a little predictable. I guessed who'd done it fairly early on but it was still enjoyable.
- I loved the rep: gay, nonbinary, sapphic, loads in there. All really well and authentically done.
Perfect for a cosy autumn/winter read with queer characters and a relaxed pace.
