A review by showell
The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard
3.0
BookRiot describes this book as "basically space Sherlock Holmes where the ship is Dr. Watson," and that seems largely accurate. (link to BookRiot's review: https://bookriot.com/?p=250958)
However, this book had a lot of world-building and as a result, a less meaty mystery than I usually like. That said, I'm glad I read it, and would read more of them if de Bodard decides to write them. The premise is pretty great, and now that the bulk of the world-building is done, future books might have more room to develop the mystery side of things.
