Mentally alive for hundreds of years on an interstellar generation ship, Dorothy Gentleman is shocked when her consciousness is unexpectedly thrown into a new body during a solar storm affecting the space ship, just as another passenger is found murdered. Given that most people were hunkering down during the storm, it's quite possible that Dorothy's new body belongs to the murderer, and as one of the ship's detectives, Dorothy's now in the tough spot of trying to investigate while wearing the body of a prime suspect.
This is a very short and creative science fiction murder mystery, and my main complaint with it is that I wish it was longer. The complex storage and body-hopping of passengers' minds really needs much more than this slim book was able to offer, especially with the amount of financial crime and murder that's also detailed. Fun, but a bit too short.
