This book was really thoroughly and lovingly researched, and mostly featured the lives of the victims, the bars, and the people who pushed the police to take crimes against queer people seriously in the 80s and 90s. I liked this style a lot, focusing on the victims one at a time, peppering in the history of the bars and the true crime element of the investigation. Like the writer himself, I’m baffled that I hadn’t heard this story, especially in a time when true crime is an obsession and serial killers are like celebrities. I’m really happy this book exists and was so well-researched and well written.
