This story of bullying, homophobia, lust, power, and love greatly effected me. It is certainly true that if you seek to oppress and hurt someone just because they are different from you or because you are unwilling to face the truth about yourself, the monster you create will be you.
I have now started The Castlemaine Murders, a Phryne Fisher Mystery (#13). Going on a ride at Luna Park, a nearby amusement park, Phryne finds a mummy encased to look like the fake remnants of a cowboy. It turns out to be 70 years old, murdered and deliberately mummified. Once our heroine decides to look into where it came from, someone starts threatening her to stop. Of course, when did that ever stop Phryne?
