Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Physicians of Vilnoc
This is another one that isn’t fun or funny at all, but at least the pacing is better. It involves Penric getting involved in a mysterious contagious illness up at his brother in law's army barracks, and trying to solve what’s causing it and keep everyone alive. It’s fairly grim. I don’t really say it much in these reviews, but I do really like the religious system in these books, and there are some cool glimpses of it here. Doesn’t really offset the grimness, though.
