Stealing the Elf-King's Roses
4 journalers for this copy...
I'm addicted to Diane Duane's writing :-)
Cover blurb:
"Los Angeles prosecutor, sleuth, and forensic lanthanomancer Lee Enfield relies on her mystic Sight to gather the truth from suspects and crime scenes. But when she investigates the shooting death of an Alfen media exec, her powers, like those of her fayhound partner Galert, uncover only deeper mysteries. The murder is revealed to be part of a deadly plot against Elves, and mounting evidence implicates the highest members of the Alfheim government ... including the Elf-King himself. Now, to determine the truth, Lee and Gelert must secretly infiltrate Alfheim, a universe forbidden to mortals-- and crack the case before an inter-dimensional war destroys all creation ..."
I love fantasy-mysteries, and recommend this one to any who share my taste.

I took this from Nelka35's Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Box. It's going onto my TBR shelves for now, but I'm sure the book will be passed along to another BookCrosser—probably through BookObsessed.
This was a fascinating juxtapositioning of the modern paranormal murder mystery and classic fantasy. Much to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
