2020 book 167

 Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Mountains of Mourning

God, why are these books so GRIM. In this one, Miles is sent to solve a murder—a murder of a little baby with a birth defect. It’s a novella and not really satisfying as a mystery (it’s not like there are a lot of suspects), more of a story meant to show Miles learning to take leadership and solve problems and be a good paternalistic overlord over the local people. B-.
