Ana Dolabra and her assistant, Din Kol, are tasked with solving a locked-room disappearance of a Treasury officer in Yarrowdale. They quickly discover that the man has been murdered with body parts showing up far from the crime scene. In tracing the victim's last activities, they realize they are up against a killer skilled at deception and whose ultimate goal may be destroying a controversial facility, known as the Shroud. With the body count rising, the pair is in a race to outwit the killer, save the facility, and ease political tensions.
This is an imaginative book featuring eccentric characters in a fantasy world that comes to life. I love the combination of fantasy and a murder mystery; it works for me. There are twists and red herrings galore, but Ana and Din cannot be denied. Just how the murder is solved and the killer uncovered makes for an entertaining read.
5/5 stars.
