A Sci-Fi Murder Mystery? Yes, please! This was such a fun romp of a read. A mystery that kept me guessing (so many viable suspects!), cocktail recipes at the start of every chapter, an adorable service dog, and a glamorous honeymoon cruise to Mars - what more do you really want in a book? If you like noir conventions but space settings, run, don’t walk, to your nearest bookstore or library for this book. Mary Robinette Kowal is one of my favorites!
