After an info dump first chapter I’ve been reluctant to pick it back up, so there it sat for, well… a while. But this morning I thought I’d give it one more chapter before DNFing it and I’m glad I did. A POV character emerges in Chapter 2, and with a surprising opening twist. I’m in!

Starting to get the feeling this is one of those “it’s sci-fi—just throw a random spaceship on the cover” books, and Lancer was the kind of publisher that might do that. Anyway, no spaceships so far just a terrific, taut, unpredictable alternative murder mystery.

Off to a rough start with a super info dumpy first chapter, but let’s forgive that and hope the story starts up in chapter two.
