murder mystery space

This book was a wonderful read, a nice walk into sci-fi mystery for me. I read this book so quickly, I enjoyed it but wished it was longer. Its evenly paced and an easy read. Nothing to hard to understand when they are talking about the AI or anything more “science-y”. The story centralized on one main character, and their journey from an excited scientist to a safety officer with mechanical parts. The back of the book gives you a heads up, she is going to be investigating a murder of an old friend of hers. The book is nice when it gives you information on the who, what, where, and why of the mystery. I would have liked it if the information was given out a little more slowly and not in chunks at a time. The development of the other characters would have been nice. It could have been a better who done it if the characters were fleshed out a bit. The only thing that was sort of meh was of course the monarchy of the company she was “working” for, I know that it’s a legit issue that is very much present in this world. I just hate that it is present in other worlds too, but such is life.
