pickDorothy retired from being detective of a generational ship 2 years ago. So she‘s quite surprised to suddenly awaken in someone else‘s body to find the shipmind drunk and someone dead. This sci-fi mystery novella is fun and seems to be setting up lots of possibilities for future books while also resolving the mystery.
so-soThis novella, a cute cozy mystery set on a generation starship, was a nice read but I felt there was nothing to hold on to. At times, I felt intrigued by ideas Waite presented but they were always sacrificed for brevity (this is a scant 112 pages). It ends up just being cozy space vibes which is fine, I guess, but I've already forgotten what intrigued me about it...
pick4.5/5
On the interstellar ship, the Fairweather, death is temporary when a new body can be created and your memories restored from a copy in the library, But when detective Dorothy Gentleman wakes up in a body that isn't hers and to news that there's just been a murder, it's clear that someone's figured out how to make a murder stick, and this new body might have something to do with it.

pickThis was a cute, cozy locked-room murder mystery set on a spaceship where everyone's memories are kept in digital books so people can be placed into new bodies over the course of the long space journey. When the ship's detective awakens in a strange body with her memory book erased and a murder to solve, she has to figure out who's killing people by erasing them--permanently.

pickWelcome to the Fairweather, a generation ship whose passengers regenerate new bodies when they die, or let their minds rest, literally, in the library. When a real death occurs, shrewd ship‘s detective Dorothy Gentleman finds herself back in a body—and it might be the murderer‘s. If you love to solve a mystery, this may not be for you, but as more of a sci-fi fan, I didn‘t mind letting Dorothy do all the hard work while I enjoyed the stellar view!
