Sharon Shinn's Echo in Emerald
I liked this better than the first one—the plot is a lot stronger, I think. The protagonist here is a young woman, the illegitimate daughter of a noble, who has learned to disguise her echoes and make her own way in the world. And then she’s drawn into helping solve a murder and an assassination attempt (and obviously falls for the noble leading the investigation, who is a perfectly nice love interest, if not super compelling). The mystery helps carry things along and there are some interesting twists along the way. Looks like things are heading toward some serious political intrigue for book three! A-.
