Today, we're kicking off NNIR Pride month by diving back in with one of our favorite authors, who has taken a bit of a detour into a genre we don't read very often here at podcast HQ - a golden era mystery! Mysteries are not some of Chelsea's favorites, and only the queer love story and the beauty of Cat Sebastian's writing managed to save this one from a similar fate. Tune in as we talk about defining genre-crossing books, the hilarity of the small-village British mystery, and just how long Downton Abbey has really been. 

Also, in her excitement to talk about Birthday by Meredith Russo, Chelsea left out content warnings for hate speech, depression, misgendering, suicide and suicidal ideation -- please remember to take care of yourself, friends.
