Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

4.0

Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty--This really is an elevation of the locked room mystery.  First, most importantly, I had a great bowl of tortellini while reading this book, and that memory will stick with me for awhile. I also got eliminated from an online reality game while reading it, and so the high-stakes nature of a battle for survival in space was really salient. This book was extremely reminiscent of the excellent books by Stuart Turton, including The Last Murder at the End of the World. The pace is great, featuring people who, for various reasons, don't know why death has occurred, and the information is teased out at just the right moments. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of reading this. Thumbs up.
