About this listen

"Vikas Adam brings a noirish vibe to his first-class narration of this 1952 mystery set in San Francisco...Adam gives Mills a deep, tough voice for the most part, though it softens for more tender moments. Adam is also outstanding with other characters, including those with lesser roles. He gives each a distinctive voice and attitude. More impressively, his performance enhances the atmosphere of the entire audiobook."—AudioFile

The Bell in the Fog, a dazzling historical mystery by Lev AC Rosen, asks—once you have finally found a family, how far would you go to prove yourself to them?

San Francisco, 1952. Detective Evander “Andy” Mills has started a new life for himself as a private detective—but his business hasn’t exactly taken off. It turns out that word spreads fast when you have a bad reputation, and no one in the queer community trusts him enough to ask an ex-cop for help.

When James, an old flame from the war who had mysteriously disappeared, arrives in his offices above the Ruby, Andy wants to kick him out. But the job seems to be a simple case of blackmail, and Andy’s debts are piling up. He agrees to investigate, despite everything it stirs up.

The case will take him back to the shadowy, closeted world of the Navy, and then out into the gay bars of the city, where the past rises up to meet him, like the swell of the ocean under a warship. Missing people, violent strangers, and scandalous photos that could destroy lives are a whirlpool around him, and Andy better make sense of it all before someone pulls him under for good.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Forge.

There better be a book 3

Stayed up all night after finishing Lavender House to listen to this in one sitting! The narrator absolutely nailed it yet again, and this book also gives a lot more super interesting insight into life in the time period for the queer community, which was not as prevalent in Lavender House because of that whole story being so self contained to the core cast in the house (which is not a bad thing!!!!). Overall a fun read and a very well written mystery 10/10

transitions.

How is this book not on a book club list? The story is good. The blending of the history, culture, and transitions are better. There are mature themes. Lots of touching but nothing beyond that. I'm at the age where I can fill in gaps on my own.

Nail biting excitement

I loved this sequel! There were so many twists and turns that it had me yelling out loud while i listened. I got really sucked into the story. I ended up binging the whole book.
