Publisher's Summary

A slow-burning romance and a chilling mystery bind two singular men in the suspenseful first book of a new Victorian series from K. J. Charles.

Lodging-house keeper Clem Talleyfer prefers a quiet life. He's happy with his hobbies, his work - and especially with his lodger Rowley Green, who becomes a friend over their long fireside evenings together. If only neat, precise, irresistible Mr. Green were interested in more than friendship....

Rowley just wants to be left alone - at least until he meets Clem, with his odd, charming ways and his glorious eyes. Two quiet men, lodging in the same house, coming to an understanding...it could be perfect. Then the brutally murdered corpse of another lodger is dumped on their doorstep and their peaceful life is shattered. Now Clem and Rowley find themselves caught up in a mystery, threatened on all sides by violent men, with a deadly London fog closing in on them. If they're to see their way through, the pair must learn to share their secrets - and their hearts.

Very engaging and sexy, if who doesn't fit in

I really enjoyed this -- might even try to find the next part. The taxidermy descriptions could give some people pause...

I'll Definitely Listen To It Again

This really was a very sweet romance. There is full, actualized sex scenes, of course, but Clem and Rowley are just so loveable and mushy that the scenes lacked some of the steam that I know K. J. Charles is capable of. I think that my only criticism of their relationship would be that at times Clem was a bit too naive for a man that seemed to have more experience than his partner (Rowley), and those scenes felt a bit childish. Overall, though, their relationship was very enjoyable.

The mystery aspect of the novel was decent, though--to me--it was rather obvious who the "villain" was. There were some bits that weren't quite explained, but it came together in the end.

Overall, this was a pleasing book that I would gladly listen to again. Matthew Lloyd Davies' narration is superb. I'm looking forward to the next in the series!

Very sweet and lovely!

I like stories without a lot of heartaches and break-ups. This story just so sweet and lovely with an interesting mystery to it. Although I wish it was a bit longer. The mystery wasn't touch on as much a I expected. Not to say it's bad; but it's just that perhaps I was expecting a Iot more actions and adventures.
Although, there's still a fair amount of actions going on considering the story's pacing and the book's length.

Regardless, the performance of Matthew Llyod Davies is absolutely superb! All the characters in the book feels individualised due to his voice acting. Felt like listen to a film created inside your head. It's very easy to forget the real world around you; while immersive youself to this narrative.
