Death Wears a Mask

I enjoy this series, though I have to admit this one had some bumpy parts. The romance elements worked for me, even though I prefer my ratio of mystery to romance to be more like 80/20 and this series tends to feel more like 50/50.

The mystery part in this one could've used some work. There were more clues than the last installment, which I liked, but it was also fairly obvious who committed the murder. I don't always hate guessing the murderer, but in this case it felt like the protagonist was an oblivious idiot to not piece it together.

Speaking of, this time I went back and forth between the print version and the audio book. The narrator in the audio book does some voices well, but not the voice of the protagonist. Since the book is in first person, that made things rough. Her voice sounded fake and annoying most of the time, and the narrator seemed unable to voice the subtext in a lot of the banter.

So I enjoyed it but I wanted it to be even better.
