KJ Charles
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.

Clem & Rowley are good for each other & Clem’s friends have his back and it’s nice to see.
Worldbuilding: not paranormal. Good use of setting (London Fog) and detail. On rereading after completing the series, it’s fun to see what glimpses of the future I didn’t know about the first time through. It’s not so much like missing clues as what seems incidental now becomes important later, but it won’t matter until one rereads this. Good solid base for the trilogy+.
Steam: Med-Low. There is a reasonable amount of M/M fooling around on page, with some specificity, but it doesn’t dwell on the sex as much as the comfort & connection. There’s great dialogue about desires & consent.
Narration: I like listening to this story. It’s nicely done with consistent audio quality.
Comfort in found family for odd birds

One of KJ Charles best novels, a small caveat

I was also happy with the narrator. This book is a good one to listen to as there are several different accents at play, and one of the characters tends to shift back to the accent of his childhood when under emotional strain. The narrator was able to bring all that to life.
Am off now to see what else this author has written.
A wonderful listen

Clem Talleyfer manages a lodgings house in Clerkenwell for his brother, among his lodgers are the quiet reserved Mr Rowley Green, a preserver of dead animals, a man Clem would very much like to share more than tea by the fire with, but also the deplorable MR Lugtrout - a retired parson with a penchant for drunkenness - who lives there rent free due to Clem's brother's kindness.
A series of odd incidents, seemingly not related at all, ends up with Mr. Lugtrout dead and his tortured body left on the doorstep of the lodgings house and Mr Green's shop broken into and set on fire.
Clem and Rowley are both quiet people and their romance is of the quiet, stumbling variety, but it is achingly sweet and lovely, even if it takes a little bit of a back seat to the mystery of the odd happenings.
The details of taxidermy was fascinating and the secondary characters interesting and obviously quite a few of them could be main characters in subsequent novels in the series. The ending was HFN - in keeping with the time the story is set in - for the couple, but the bigger story arc was left open and waiting for the next book.
Like 'Think of England' by the same author, some readers may find that the mystery part of this story overshadows the romance part, which I guess is true, but I didn't mind that one bit. The romance was sweet and steamy, the mystery was fun and engaging and as always Ms. Charles's vivid writing made the city of London such a presence as if it was almost another character in the story.
Warmly recommended.
