The Death of the Necromancer by Martha Wells
4.0
A cracking good murder mystery, gothic with a faint steampunk feel in places. Gets pretty gory, so content warning if that is not your jam.
Only two female characters in a host of men, so like the first book in this series, don't read it if you like a variety of female characters, or even a gender balance in your books.
Nicholas, the main character and the one whose POV we are mostly following, is not quite an anti-hero, but he's definitely a flawed human. He's described as being dangerous, and especially toward the middle of the book, he is described as seething with barely-held back rage quite a bit. I found it hard to sympathize with him, but it didn't stop me from rooting for him.
