No; I’m not rereading Viscounts and Villainy this early.
This is a completely separate queer, speculative fiction mystery with two silhouettes on a bright orange background.
…Guys, I like this style of cover as much as the next reader, but I feel like we could use some more variety.
Just a bit. 🤏

Of the sapphic sci-fi Sherlock Holmes pastiches that I’ve read recently, I prefer The Tea Master and the Detective to this. Which is a bit disappointing, as that series doesn’t continue with the same sleuthing partners and this one does.
In this novella’s defence, it does pick up towards the end.
I might be willing to try another in this series, but IDK.
