You could try 'The Song of Achilles'. It weaves a compelling tale of love and friendship in an ancient setting. The writing is exquisite and the emotions are raw and real.
There are quite a few. 'Less' is a novel that has some mystery aspects intertwined with the lgbt journey of its main character.

It has an element of mystery as the main character changes gender over time and the story is filled with a lot of interesting and somewhat mysterious events related to identity and relationships within the lgbt context.

Well, 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker can be considered. Although it mainly focuses on the African - American female experience, it also contains strong lesbian undertones. Celie's relationship with Shug is a very important part of the story. Also, 'Less' by Andrew Sean Greer. It follows the story of a gay writer as he travels around the world. It's a humorous and poignant exploration of love, aging, and identity. And 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller.
