Katherine Addison's The Grief of Stones
I probably should have reread Witness for the Dead before starting this one, since it’s a sequel, but Addison does a good job of reminding who all the characters are without a ton of exposition. I mostly liked this a lot but will warn that is is pretty unsavory (why does this fantasy world have child pornography?). Anyway, this finds the Witness trying to solve another murder, and stumbling onto more mysteries along the way, but this time he has an apprentice (a widow, new to the field) in tow! I am into this character and his pals and am glad that there are hints at a third book in his story. A/A-.
