This book is a weird hybrid of a cozy mystery and a steamy spy book. Sure, the world is full of dark deeds and terrible secrets, but there's kindness and healing and found family. And the mystery does come unraveled by the end.

Minor: Animal death, Blood, Car accident, Death of parent, Infidelity, War, and Violence

This book is a murder mystery set after WWII, so the trauma from the war, the period-typical homophobia, and the explicit discussion of the victim's death are to be expected. Neither of the two main characters are suicidal, and no one interacts with a centralized medical system (one of the main characters is a small-town doctor).
