A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire

4.0

A Local Habitation is a much more mature effort than the previous book in the series, [b:Rosemary and Rue|6294549|Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1)|Seanan McGuire|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266621691s/6294549.jpg|6478937].

Toby Daye is tasked by her liege to visit a neighboring County and check in on his niece, who is the Countess herself. She takes along fosterling Quentin, to teach him about being a court Knight and a daoine sidhe.

Toby and Quentin quickly find themselves in the middle of a mystery. Countess January thinks it's her uncle, not her, who has stopped communicating. On top of that, Faerie employees of her company (A Local Habitation) are being killed in mysterious ways.

The story follows Toby as she unravels the mystery of the deaths, and of ALH itself.
