7 Queer Crime Fiction Books
These seven books are masterpieces of suspenseful crime fiction featuring queer protagonists. From gay and lesbian detectives, a gay domestic thriller, Sapphic historical fiction, to a post-apocalypse with trans women protagonists, there’s a book here for everyone in the LGBTQIA rainbow.
The final book in the Detective Betty series is a taut race-against-the-clock suspense novel. Betty has settled down, been promoted to Sergeant, is happily married to her no-nonsense voice of reason, Jackie, and is sheltering young mother Mary Grace. But her world turns upside-down when she’s given an ultimatum from The Knife: take out their mutual foe, Evangeline Roy, or her family will pay. Taking place over two weeks, with puzzle pieces falling into place as the story goes, this fast-paced book will leave you as sleep-deprived as poor Betty, because you won’t want to put it down.
