SOLVED. serial killer of religious women on a hot planet [s]

[Susan]

An officer is assigned to a case on a planet where someone is killing women in a religious group. Something about crystals. The officer falls in love with one of the woman, who turns out to be who the killer is looking for. The weather on the planet is hot and dry, and there are two younger officers already there but unable to solve the case.

This sounds like Sharon Shinn, Wrapt in Crystal, where women are being killed, alternately from the two sects that worship the goddess.

Yes! Thank you!

This sounded really interesting Susan--unfortunately they don't have it in e-format, and would have to get a used copy if I tried ordering it. I'll just keep an eye out and someday, I'll find a copy.

Congrats on finding it so fast. I've shelved it and moved the thread for you.

[Susan]

OK. Do I need to do anything to end the request?

Ann took care of it - you're set!
