Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite
4.5
adventurous mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I hadn't realized how short this was when I began the audiobook, and I was dismayed when I realized I was already halfway through! Olivia Waite has created a very intriguing setting for a sci-fi detective story here, and a compelling main character.  I love Olivia Waite's writing and it was fun to see their talent put towards a new genre from their historical romances. 

I thought the book started off quite strong, but I did feel like it was maybe a little too short for the suspense to build and to allow for enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing at the mystery. Still fantastic!
