Review of 'The Witness for the Dead' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Oh, wow. Read in one sitting. Exquisite.
Not a continuation of 'The Goblin Emperor' this takes one character from that story and explores what they did next.
This is another gentle book for all it has a serial killer, a ghoul and other murders in it. The protagonist is a priest of a special type. Basically they solve crimes involving the dead, usually murder. The protagonist does this mostly by dogged perseverance to their faith and their wits. There are no two-fisted heroics here. As I said, a gentle book and all the better for it.
Very much recommended.
