Great option of you love Sherlock Holms style mysteries. This is NOT a retelling of them, but it has the vibes. Even set in space, there is a decidedly Victorian London feel to the setting, especially with this narrator's voice.
As with Sherlock, the detective (Mosa) is focused on the job and not great at interacting with people. The story begins in her voice, but quickly changes to her ex (the scholar) who is intelligent and better with people a la Watson.
I loved the world building and will be happy to get my hands on the next mystery staring these two both for the mystery and to follow the (re)development of thier relationship.
