The Body at the Tower

A gentle, heartfelt sequel to [b:His Quiet Agent 35238838 His Quiet Agent (The Agency, #1) Ada Maria Soto https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1495953087l/35238838.SY75.jpg 56588931] (which must be read first). Nothing really happens, other than the two MCs showing their love for each other in their own understated, unique way during the holiday season. Arthur is socially awkward; and Martin is asexual, possibly autistic, and dealing with PTSD from an event (still unexplained) that happened in the first book. It's one of those rare books in which holding hands, or sitting by someone's bedside when they're sick, are deeply intimate moments. Unlike the first Agency book, Soto uses dual POV. We learn more about Martin's unusual and tragic past but more importantly, we are privy to his thoughts about how miraculous he considers Arthur's presence in his life. Honestly, just writing about this book makes me want to go read it again. Highly recommended if you are looking for a book that will bring you comfort and joy.
