Gender-bent Sherlock and Watson, in an off-planet future, with romance. i love the romantic vibe of this SF novella, in which the “Watson,“ falls once again under the spell of a Holmes she doesn't fully understand but can't stop caring for.

Book rec: jump scare.

4/5

A fun, sherlock holmes style mystery taking place in the future on when humanity has relocated to live on a series of rail connected platforms above Jupiter. I loved the world building and look forward to reading future books in the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

An interesting sapphic/queer dystopian science fiction gender swapped Sherlock Holmes and Watson retelling, set on Jupiter.

Mossa‘s investigation starts after a man disappears from one of the less often visited platforms they live on. Potential suicide? Or is there something more going on?

Read this book after doing a quiz by @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian !

#bookreport A good week! Finished The Phoenix Crown on audio, which I quite enjoyed. Finished The Mimicking of Known Successes a few hours before the Nebula finalists were announced, handy as it's on the list!
So now I'm in Nebula reading mode for the next few weeks. So far I've finished the short stories and 2 novelettes. #weeklyforecast hope to finish the novelettes (4 left) and ideally the novellas (3 left) but we'll see.

TheSpineView Great job! 8mo

My other new art acquisition! 🤩🪼

This was a fun short scifi mystery that takes place on Jupiter, which future humans have colonized after ruining Earth. It‘s a Sherlock style murder investigation, except the main characters are women, and the body is missing. I believe book 2 was just published, and I will probably pick it up.

Crazeedi Got your note, I'll write soon! 9mo

Soubhiville @Eyelit my friends who are moving to Puerto Rico let me choose a couple paintings from their collection. He is an artist and every show he did over the last 15 years or so, he would come home with a piece of someone else‘s art. 🙂 8mo

I am so happy this has turned into a series. Can't wait to read more! Sci fi cozy mystery vibes: Watson-like character POV narrating Sherlock-type detective/investigator with gender swap sapphic second chance romance twist, and happily it's not the fawning, clueless Watson character that my experience of the original Holmes stories I've read recalls. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 I love the world-building, the long term goal, the specific furturistic type of academia this book introduces. Not quite dystopia, kind of steam punk (more than wild west), with railroads, on/surrounding Jupiter. What more could you want!?🤌🏻 10mo

This felt like Sherlock Holmes with a queer sci-fi twist. Set in the future, when humans have colonized Jupiter after Earth is no longer habitable by living on ringed platforms that circle the planet. Mossa investigates a disappearance & calls on her old flame for help since the missing man is a fellow scholar at the university. Older does 'show, don't tell' very well and the setting is so immersive (& cozy) despite little explanations off the bat

peanutnine Book 2 comes out next month and I'm excited for more in this world #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView #BookChain 'the' in title #ISpy circle @TheAromaofBooks #LGBTQ2024 white lettering @Kenyazero 10mo
