Currently a couple of chapters into Deadhouse gates. I do enjoy it, but the malazan universe is so massive and filled with so many characters, that I need the malazan wiki around, just in case I need to check something.

Currently midway through The Bell in the Fog by Lev A.C. Rosen. It's the second in a series, but I'm getting through it just fine as a standalone. Fairly quick historical mystery about a gay PI in 1950s San Francisco, dealing with a blackmail case.

Finished Hold the Dark by Frank Tuttle. Fun little fantasy detective novel, 3rd in a series.

Is being gay related to anything in the plot, or just a background information for possible romance etc.?
The story is heavily rooted in LGBTQIA+ community/culture, and the experience of existing as a gay person at the time. There's a bit of romance, as well.
To be clear, though: despite its historical bones and the very real fears of its characters, this isn't a cruel book. No slurs or anything so far, and even the police raids at clubs have been mild.
