If you like Even Though I Knew the End, try this one.
Two old flames team up to solve a disappearance. Set on a backwater human outpost on a moon of Jupiter many centuries after Earth has become uninhabitable. I generally don’t like sci fi but the leading ladies were compelling enough that I made it all the way through.

Slow to get into, but a satisfying mystery and lovely character development. Fantastic sci-fi world.

gay little dorks :)

I think my lower rating may be simply from how much I hated the voice of the audiobook narrator who was speaking in a very stuffy RP british accent but was so clearly american... she had this very weird and stilted way about her and her characterisations were so weird lmao !! the book was great and maybe even gayer than I expected. excited to see where the sequel takes us.

A mystery set on Jupiter being investigated by two women, with a definite Holmes and Watson vibe to them, and a dollop of sapphic romance thrown in…..yes please! I thoroughly enjoyed this and really hope we get more of Mossa & Pleiti soon.
