This is a Vorkosigan mystery. A crime has been committed, but part of the mystery is that no one knows (at first) that it was even a crime. Enter Miles Vorkosigan in his new role of Imperial Auditor.

Bujold shows us life under the domes of a planet undergoing terraforming. From the point of view of the off-planet conquerors. The social dynamics would make for an interesting story even without the mystery.

Another excellent story with good pacing, interesting new characters, and two point-of-view characters with very different views of Komarr. The ending scene in the hospital would make an average book good - with an excellent book like this it just caps the story with a truly satisfying ending.
