This was a pretty good novella. Its greatest strength is definitely the emotional depth of the main character; a traumatized spaceship is an interesting character concept to start with, and I think it was well written. It didn't have as many twists and turns or potential suspects as I usually like in my mysteries, but it was an interesting world to get a glimpse of, and the mystery tied into the world-building in a way that I liked. Would recommend!
