Description
It should have been so simple . . .
Durine, Kethol, and Pirojil are three mercenaries who have spent twenty years fighting other people's battles, defeating the Tsurani and the Bugs and the goblins. Yet now it seems there are no more enemies to vanquish, leaving them with a few months of welcomed garrison duty as the Riftwar rages on in the west.
When the trio is ordered to accompany a lady and her husband safely to the city of LaMut, it looks like an easy—even cushy—assignment. But in Midkemia, nothing is that straightforward, and the men find themselves trapped by a vicious winter storm in a castle with scheming lords and ladies, an unsolved murder, and nothing less than the political future of Midkemia at stake. . . .

High Marks For Murder
4By HellHarpThough released after Feist fans had travelled further down the timeline, "Murder In Lamut" brings us back to the original Rift War in a way that doesn't require re-reading "Magician" to follow. In it, we are able to see the first real interaction between the Tsurani and Midkemians. It's sets up nicely with the rest of The Cycle (explaining the Tsurani settlement of Yabon and especially Lamut) but also works well as a stand alone novel. The characters are engaging and as well developed as can be in one book. Perhaps the fact that the story ends after one book is my biggest criticism. I wish there were more to the story and that we could all continue to read about these characters. Sadly, one must be enough. But I guarantee that it is. Highly recommended.
