A fun quick read. Perfectly captures the feel of a Ferengi episode, with a zany plot of comic violence/crime and truly, truly silly "world-building".

A short book, maybe a novella? Ok and amusing but not the best star trek story I have read.

This book was funny and super enjoyable. It reminded me just how much I love Odo and Quark as characters.

This has pretty much everything I could ever want in a DS9 book. Basically, Quark goes missing so Odo agrees to go search for him on Ferenginar. A++ would recommend.

Odo doing what he does best: harrumphing and rescuing Quark even though he claims to heavily dislike him. He also has a bad case of fiction lag (the temporary change in personality that occurs after being deeply involved with a work of fiction) from all the noir novels he's been reading from Miles. Such a delightful short mystery novel to read before bed EVEN THOUGH I would have loved more Ferengi world building, I still super enjoyed it.

A bit of a slog in the middle (like Bowog Bog), yet a good read

More fish-out-of-water than action-driven investigation, I, The Constable is noir-like read that relies of the reader's familiarity with Odo, Quark, Rom, and other DS9 characters.
