Miles, Mystery and Mayhem is the third omnibus collection of the Vorkosigan Saga. It collects two novels and one novella, a mix of spy intrigue, a standalone story, and another short heist adventure.
Cetaganda is the first novel in this collection, a sort of field trip as Miles and Ivan must attend a function on the planet Cetaganda. What ends up being a routine trip ends up having all sorts of shenanigans, involving a murder, espionage, and a very intriguing plot. It was my favourite part of this story collection.
The second novel is Ethan of Athos, which is about a gay man from a planet of all men where babies are born via uterine replicator, and DNA samples are treated very highly. When their latest shipment of samples is trash, Ethan must traverse to Fell Station to investigate what happened, and gets involved in a plot involving mercenaries and the enigmatic Elli Quinn. This story was rather hard to sit through, as it is only vaguely related to Miles.
The last novella is a heist on the planet of Jackson's Whole. It has a very strange ending and it was not my favourite novella out of any so far. This collection was mixed bag, starting off strong but getting all tangent like throughout the pages.
