The tension is powerful and focused around Kit's own life. Kit's own conflicting motivations feel realistic and make sense of plot situations that I've seen handled very poorly elsewhere.

This is the awesome gay YA historical mystery spy novel I didn't know I wanted. Murder, espionage, and family drama ensue. ![]() In no hurry to face his brutish cobbler father, himself without an apprentice after beating the last nearly to death, Kit detours to visit a friend who asks him to hold a package overnight. Christopher "Kit" Marlowe, fifteen year old suspected homosexual and serial failed apprentice, is headed home after the loss of his latest potential trade. ![]()
