gay detective novels

The 'Shades of London' series by Maureen Johnson. Although not strictly a gay - themed detective series in its entirety, it features a gay main character who is involved in solving mysteries related to ghosts and supernatural happenings in London. His character development and the mystery - solving aspects make it a great read for those interested in this genre.

One popular gay detective novel is 'The Captive Prince' series by C.S. Pacat. It has elements of mystery and intrigue within a complex political and romantic setting. Another is 'Fever Pitch' by Heidi Cullinan which features a detective - like character in a story filled with relationship drama and some mystery elements. There's also 'A Matter of Time' by Mary Calmes, where the main character's journey has elements of mystery and detection while also exploring gay relationships.

There's also 'Murder in the Rue Chartres' by Greg Herren. This novel is set in New Orleans and features a gay detective who has to solve a murder that is tied to the city's rich and complex history. The setting adds a lot of flavor to the story, and the detective's personal life and relationships are intertwined with the mystery he is trying to solve.

Dime novels were known for their pulp fiction - like stories and diverse characters. But this 'detective gay or the king of disguise' is not a well - known archetype from what I know. It's possible that it was a unique creation within a specific series of dime novels. There were so many dime novels published over time, and some had really strange and unique character concepts. But without further research into specific dime novel collections, it's impossible to say for sure who this might be.

A good gay detective romance novel also incorporates the social context. It might deal with issues such as homophobia in the workplace (like in 'The Gay Detective's Secret Affair' where the detective has to hide his relationship in the police department). And of course, the writing style should be engaging, with vivid descriptions of both the detective work and the romantic moments.

Since I don't know the exact character, I can't really say. But generally, a detective in dime novels might be smart, observant and good at solving mysteries. If this 'detective gay or the king of disguise' is also a detective, perhaps he has some unique disguise skills that help him in his investigations.

There's also 'Love and Crime: A Gay Detective's Tale'. This novel not only has a great detective plot full of twists and turns but also a very heart - warming gay love story. The detective has to deal with his own feelings for his male partner while trying to solve a series of murders in the city.

One characteristic could be the presence of a gay protagonist who is also a detective. This adds a unique perspective to the mystery - solving process as they may face different challenges and biases in a society that might not be fully accepting. For example, their relationships within the gay community could be intertwined with the cases they are solving.

Sure. 'Whyborne & Griffin' series by Jordan L. Hawk is a great start. It has a well - developed mystery plot in each book and the relationship between the two main characters, Whyborne and Griffin, is very engaging. Another one is 'A Dangerous Thing' by Josh Lanyon. It's a simple yet captivating gay detective story that is easy for beginners to get into.
