Mehso-so

I didn't realize this book was part of a series when I picked it up - I just saw "locked room mystery" and dove in. Sci-fi is a hard genre for me generally and so mixing it with a bit of a murder mystery helped smooth the more "scienc-y" elements. It was a fun read but I never found myself very invested in the characters or the "deeper" sci-fi plot. Perhaps readers who don't share my struggle with the genre will have better luck with this one.
