Another good story in the Penric and Desdemona series.In this one Penric gets in serious trouble when he goes on a diplomatic mission. We get intrigue & deception, at least one really-nasty character, some possible divine help, and several narrow escapes. Also, Penric develops a possible love interest – which can be a problem for a man inhabited by a female demon!Good story and Grover Gardner's narration is excellent. Solid four stars.Those thinking of reading this series should note that this story is the third in publication order but the fourth in the chronology of events. I suggest reading [b:Penric's Fox 35895883 Penric's Fox (Penric and Desdemona, #5) Lois McMaster Bujold https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1501618535l/35895883.SX50.jpg 57415059] before reading this one.
