Blood and Mascara

It was a little dry. I loved the plot but it was so dry I struggled to stay completely engaged and the jumping back and forth got a little annoying.

I was really interested in the characters but the pacing was a tad off.

I loved the end though which more than made up for the dryiness

Bronze takes photos of cheating partners. His current client is higher up on society's food chain when suddenly a body connected to the photos ends up dead. Soon after Bronze is in the hitman's crosshairs as well.

I rarely talk about language in my reviews, but when I do it always seems to be regarding crime noirs. Maybe they have a language all of their own that immediately entices the reader or I just got lucky with Colin Krainin's Blood and Mascara. I was immediately sucked in.

Blood and Mascara is a crime noir that will have you flipping the pages to see what happens next.
