Sometimes he could come off as obtuse, but other times he was very observant. I don’t know if the author writes that way in all his books or if it is a trademark of Nicky’s personality. The story is told from Nicky’s viewpoint and the humor is very tongue in cheek. There is sex but it’s not explicit so I really feel this story lends itself to gay fiction and less romance. Nicky and Noah make up the main couple of the story but there are other pairings among the supporting characters. As far as the mystery writing, I think this author did a great job. Story: I am a pretty big fan of gay mysteries or mysteries that drive a plot in m/m romance. He really allowed the humor that the author writes with to come through in his narration. However, I think he did a great job narrating. Narration: The narrator for Drama Muscle wasn’t the same one from the first book, and I hadn’t heard anything else from him before. You will be applauding and shouting Bravo for Joe Cosentino’s fast-paced, side-splittingly funny, edge-of-your-seat entertaining second novel in this delightful series. Complicating matters is a visit from Noah’s parents from Wisconsin, and Nicky’s suspicion that Noah may be hiding more than a cut, smooth body. With dead bodybuilders popping up on campus, Nicky, and his favorite colleague/life partner Noah Oliver, must use their drama skills to figure out who is taking down pumped up musclemen in the Physical Education building before it is curtain down for Nicky and Noah.

It could be lights out for college theatre professor Nicky Abbondanza. Why I listened to this audio: I had reviewed the first audiobook of this series and was interested in seeing what troubles the author would create for this couple and happily volunteered when we were offered an audio code.
