Going into this book blind was a choice, lol.
This was a wild ride....did I think it was going to involve historical male sex workers? Absolutely not. Was I wildly surprised by the tender and kind way they were referred to in this book? YES.
Serial killer, sex workers, Irish men, the opera, and my favorite setting 1890's New York.
Side note, the page count on this is so high because its one of those small grocery store paperbacks.
Off to read the rest of this series :)
