#76 Testimony of Mute Things by Lois McMaster Bujold

 

This is set earlier in Penric’s life and has him solving the murder of a woman that wanted to speak to the archdivine but was turned away.  When Penric finds out she is dead the next day he starts to find out what she wanted to tell his boss and who wanted her dead.

A stack of books with an uncovered lidded pot on top that has a snake coming out of it.   Coins and a key are scattered around the books.
