2023 book 4

 Melissa McShane's Emissary

I saw this compared to Ursula Vernon's books, and on the face of it, it should have been right up my alley—it’s about a woman who's sort of a servant/priest to the God of Death, and she and her bodyguard are sent to a city to investigate some mysterious apparitions, but they’re not regular ghosts. So she has a mystery to solve! The problem is that halfway through the author decides to stick a romance into things, which means the narrative loses some focus (I also personally found everything with the romance really annoying, like I was not into it at all). The religion and the mystery are both pretty interesting, and I just wanted more of that! B.
