If you are looking for a fun romp through the galaxy with a little whodunit mixed in, then this is your story. If you are looking for a more dramatic, edge of your seat mystery, then look somewhere else.
The story for this one was okay. There was nothing spectacular about the mystery and the revealing at the end but the journey getting there was what the adventure was all about. With a great line of characters and some hilarious moments, it made the story enjoyable.
In this story, we have Tesla Crane, a famous inventor who suffers from chronic pain and PTSD. She is celebrating her honeymoon on an interplanetary cruise ship with her husband and her service dog. Shortly after they get settled, a murder occurs and her husband is blamed. Tesla sets out to prove his innocence and along the way meets a colorful array of characters.
High jinks abound in this entertaining, sci-fi mystery
