Tesla Crane and her new spouse, Shal Steward, are honeymooning aboard the Lindgren, an intergalactic cruise liner, when they witness the death of another passenger. They're first on the scene, and Shal is arrested for the murder, leaving Tesla angry, confused, and determined to clear her new spouse's name, whatever the cost — and fortunately, she has plenty of resources to do so. What ensues is a classic murder mystery set on a spaceship that defies most laws of physics (Kowal even notes in an afterword that nobody but a cruise line would build this ship). It's a fun caper, full of intrigue, nods to golden age detective stories, classic cocktails, and the support cutest dog in the galaxy. I loved it, and I would love to read more about Tesla, Shal, and Gimlet (the aforementioned dog).
