Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone

3.0

An enjoyable read. The plot is murder mystery (except one of the victims is a god), the setting is a fantasy-steampunk alternate universe with some fairly interesting world building, and the characters were interesting. I particularly enjoyed the system of magic ("the Craft"), which had strong aspects of law, economics and steampunk engineering to it, and served similar functions to those disciplines in the world of the book.
