#66 The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal

[missingvolume]

Tesla Crane is enjoying her honeymoon under an assumed name to stay out of limelight and relax with her spouse. But leaving the karaoke bar, they find another passenger stabbed in the hallway. Shel is accused of murder and Telsa must out herself as the incredibly wealthy woman she is to make things right. But just because you have money doesn’t make life grand, she suffers PTSD and crippling back damage due to an experiment in her lab several years ago. This is part of story, and it does frame how she does things with the case. More murders occur and connections between different passengers come to life as the story unfold. This is a good mystery story and I hope there will be more of Tesla, Shel and little Gimlet in the future.
