City of Masks is a swashbuckling adventure in a setting reminiscent of Shakespeare's Italy (complete with twins).
In the city-state of Bonvidaeo, by custom and law everyone must wear a mask and act in character with it, or face civil, social and religious penalties.
Gregorius Bass is sent to Bonvidaeo as the Envoy of Calaria, primarily to get him out from underfoot. Masked as the Innocent Man, and in the company of his radical young Bonvidaoan servant, Bass stumbles into mystery, intrigue, heresy and murder.

Wow. Just Wow.
The story here is good, and the characters are very interesting, but it's the author's narration that completely blew me away. I hope he does voice work on the side, because if not he missed his calling.
