Tesla Crane, a brilliant inventor and an heiress, is on her honeymoon on an interplanetary space liner, cruising between the Moon and Mars. She’s traveling incognito and is reveling in her anonymity. Then someone is murdered and the festering chowderheads who run security have the audacity to arrest her spouse. Armed with banter, martinis and her small service dog, Tesla is determined to solve the crime so that the newlyweds can get back to canoodling—and keep the real killer from striking again.

  • Pronouns usage makes this a tough read

    I suppose it’s politically correct to have sci-fi characters use un-gendered pronouns, but usage in the prose makes this a tougher read & unnecessarily distracts from the story.
  • The Thin Man in Space, only better

    This book used the tropes of the mystery and stand them on their head in the best ways. I am only sad that Lunacy gin apparently doesn’t yet exist.
