I’m all over this. Amazing back pain representation and writing, this author understands. I loved the pacing and the protagonist. This really feels like one in a series of mystery novels just…in space. I will say the mystery takes the worst from a Christie book and the twist comes out of nowhere, but it isn’t unfounded and it’s pretty fun.
