Murder by Death

The writing has improved.  The MC shows slightly more maturity.  2 or 3 continuity issues (a 1 million dollar life insurance policy becomes 2 million a chapter later) that were negligible.

The mystery itself was average - the killer was obvious and I think the author was hoping for a plot twist but it didn't feel twisty to me at all.  So, could have been better.

Still, I find something strangely compelling about the characters; if the series ended with this one I wouldn't blink an eye, but still I feel the need to read the next one.  I don't know why - it won't be for the recipes at the back:  I am fundamentally, philosophically, and theologically opposed to anything with velveeta as an ingredient.
