<p><b>Becky Chambers meets Miss Marple</b><b> in this sci-fi ode to the cozy mystery, helmed by a formidable no-nonsense auntie of a detective</b><br><br><i>A mind is a terrible thing to erase...</i><br><br><i>Welcome to the HMS </i>Fairweather<i>, Her Majesty's most luxurious interstellar passenger liner! Room and board are included, new bodies are graciously provided upon request, and should you desire a rest between lifetimes, your mind shall be most carefully preserved in glass in the Library, shielded from every danger.</i><br><br>Near the topmost deck of an interstellar generation ship, Dorothy Gentleman wakes up in a body that isn't hers-just as someone else is found murdered. As one of the ship's detectives, Dorothy usually delights in unraveling the schemes on board the <i>Fairweather</i>, but when she finds that someone is not only killing bodies but purposefully deleting minds from the Library, she realizes something even more sinister is afoot.<br><br>Dorothy suspects her misfortune is partly the fault of her feckless nephew Ruthie who, despite his brilliance as a programmer, leaves chaos in his cheerful wake. Or perhaps the sultry yarn store proprietor-and ex-girlfriend of the body Dorothy is currently inhabiting-knows more than she's letting on. Whatever it is, Dorothy intends to solve this case. Because someone has done the impossible and found a way to make murder on the <i>Fairweather</i> a very permanent state indeed. A mastermind may be at work-and if so, they've had three hundred years to perfect their schemes...<br><br>Told through Dorothy's delightfully shrewd POV, this novella is an ode to the cozy mystery taken to the stars with a fresh new sci-fi take. Perfect for fans of the plot-twisty narratives of Dorothy Sayers and Ann Leckie, this well-paced story will leave readers captivated and hungry for the series's next installment.</p>
