Unravelling the mystery of what happened to Tesla while also digging into the various mysteries she stumbles across while trying to prove Shal's innocence is great fun. Tesla is fascinating character who is dealing with both PTSD and ongoing physical challenges from an accident in her past. The book has obvious nods to The Thin Man (more the film than the novel, I think), which were a delight for this reader. Kowal's latest novel is a fun mash-up of a sci-fi and noir-ish mystery novel. Now Tesla has to figure out who actually committed the murder so that she can free her husband from security and actually get back to their honeymoon.
Traveling on the luxurious cruise liner Lindgren from the Moon to Mars, the honeymoon is going swimmingly right up until someone is murdered in front of Tesla and Shal is taken into custody as the most likely suspect. Tesla Crane, celebrated inventor and heiress, is on her honeymoon with her spouse, retired private detective Shal Steward, along with her support dog, Gimlet.
