Chaos Terminal | Mur Lafferty
5 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Mallory Viridian would rather not be an amateur detective, and fled to outer space to avoid itbut when one of the new human arrivals on a space shuttle is murdered, shes back in the game. Mallory Viridian would rather not be an amateur detective, thank you very much. But no matter what she does, people persist in dying around herand only she seems to be able to solve the crime. After fleeing to an alien space station in hopes that the lack of humans would stop the murders, a serial killer had the nerve to follow her to Station Eternity. (Mallory deduced who the true culprit was that time, too.) Now the law enforcement agent who hounded Mallory on Earth has come to Station Eternity, along with her teenage crush and his sister, Mallorys best friend from high school. Mallory doesnt believe in coincidences, and so shes not at all surprised when someone in the latest shuttle from Earth is murdered. Its the story of her life, after all. Only this time she has more than a killer to deal with. Between her fugitive friends, a new threat arising from the Sundry hivemind, and the alarmingly peculiar behavior of the sentient space station they all call home, even Mallorys deductive abilities are strained. If she cant find out whats going on (and fast), a disaster of intergalactic proportions may occur.

Mrs Brown is away on a training course for new symbionts of space stations but expects to be back before the shuttle bringing the new Earth ambassador arrives and before the Gneiss trial of Princess Tina and her advisors finishes. In the meantime Mallory should keep an eye on Eternity's functions and stay out of trouble and NO MORE MURDERS. Yeah, right.

Another great mix of fun, suspense, and intriguing mystery.

Chaotic for sure, with aliens galore, murders and old friends refinding each other. The aliens are mostly a hoot.

Mehso-so

An unfortunately high ratio of interpersonal drama to actual creative sci fi and murder mystery greatly hampered my enjoyment. At some point the amount of time people spend sniping at each other is both irritating and boring. Worse still, the surprise romantic element featured high school flashbacks to the extent that I felt like I had a YA novel thrust on me I didn't sign up for. Not enough humour to make up for it. Decent ending.

Cozy Sci-fi Murder Mystery set on a sentient space station

Second book in the Midsolar Murders series.

The station is acting up. Mallory's connection to the Sundry hivemind is on the fritz. There are visitors from Earth, some of whom are from Mallory's past. And, of course, another murder occurs; and all visiting humans have a motive.
