Murder Between the Pages by Josh Lanyon
Murder Between the Pages
3/5. I'm leaning into the thing where I can't focus on anything of significant length, so instead I'm reading a lot of novellas and shorter YA stuff. This is an M/M novella about two best-of-enemies rival mystery writers teaming up to solve a murder at a bookstore in 1948. Insubstantial – there should have been some richness here regarding their mutual war service and the fingerprints it left on both of them, but none of that ever deepens into anything. Still, this is the sort of empty calorie canape my brain wants right now, so okay.
