Search - Wrapt in Crystal

This book was interesting - written entirely from the hero's point of view as he is investigating a futuristic murder case. Has a lot of religion/philosophy as various people tangle with dealing with grief and the meaning of worshipping god.

Sharon Shinn is my all-time favorite, sci/fi-fantasy writer, and Wrapt in Crystal is one of her best! She is one of those writers who knows how to explore current issues like race, gender, and class, placing them in a futuristic or fantasy setting that allows the reader to better understand them. Wrapt in Crystal does this exceedingly well. If you like a good mystery combined with a compelling love story, you'll definitely want to read it.

Really excellent character driven SF detective story
