4.0

This is a cute science fiction mystery with a sapphic romance that takes place on one of the moons of Jupiter. I love how the world-building has been woven in through the narration. While I felt slightly lost at the beginning, it was not in a disorienting way. By the end of the novel, I felt grounded in the world. 

The book is written in a way that is reminiscent of the 1800 murder mysteries. On the one hand, I really enjoyed this type of novel. However, it also left me feeling a lack of diversity in the novel. It felt like nothing had changed since the colonial period. However, I know that is not the case because the world was queer accepting. It just did not show through in other areas of the novel. 

Still a very enjoyable read, and I will check out more by this author.
