66. by Reiko Yoshiara

This Japanese light novel (m/m erotica, dubious consent) is plagued with stiff translation issues and is choppy thanks to its being serialized in a magazine first.

This takes me to officially 50 novels! Appropriate that I ended on Dame Agatha. Now to see how far I can go.

This one wasn't a mystery, more Gothic suspense.
