Perfectly average short story. No shocking twists but the story makes sense. An enjoyable short read but nothing that will sit with you long term I don’t think.

A Murder Mystery in Space
Plot: After a passenger dies, one of the crew members insists on finding the killer.
Likes: I likes the smooth narration of this story overall. It kept my interest going, didn't overexplain well known space travel concepts, and the killer was not obvious from the beginning.
Dislikes: None at the moment.
Recommended audience: If you like both murder mysteries and space travel, this is for you.
Rating: I gave this short story 4/5, because I enjoyed it, but it personally didn't evoke much emotion in me. However, I should probably read Divergent or one of Roth's other more famous works, as this is already her second short story I enjoyed reading.
