I'm reading a book called A Study in Stone by Michael Campling. It appeared on my ebook reader yesterday and I thought it might be about archaeology or something and I often enjoy books like that. In fact, it's a fairly standard English village mystery with a local pub, a big house and a handful of typical local yokels. The two main characters are Dan and Alan. Alan has moved to the village because he has lost his job and Dan has befriended him. They have coffee together and find themselves investigating the theft of some precious artifacts from the coffee shop. There is a barista in the cafe who has 'an impressive set of whiskers'.
Perhaps my 'gaydar' is working overtime because I keep anticipating a development in the relationship between Dan and Alan. I'm on page 363 of 646 and I'm anticipating a development at any time. Funny, I've never questioned the relationship between Captain Bigglesworth and Algernon Lacey or Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson but Dan and Alan seem to be heading in a particular direction.
Perhaps I'm reading my first LGBTQ novel.
