Really excellent character driven SF detective story

Every bit as good as I've come to expect from Ms. Shinn!

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.
