The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by Malka Older

So this is the third in a mystery series that I can only describe as giving queer Sherlock Holmes vibes. Humanity has spread out to Jupiter due to Earth becoming unlivable, and habitats are orbiting the planet. (We don't learn much about the science behind this. This is absolutely fine, in fact, it reminded me of classic SF – here is the thing, it's enough that you know about the thing for the story.) Pleiti is contacted by a former classmate for help as someone is trying to sabotage the former classmates' academic career.

Academic backbiting never gets old, apparently. Pleiti travels to the habitat without her investigative partner, Mossi and we are plunged into the mystery.

I quite liked this, as I said, it does give off Sherlock Holmes vibes. The mystery is well laid out and I certainly didn't guess whodunnit, which is always nice. Also, I'm 99% sure there was a blink and you missed it Firefly Easter egg, so also fun!

Recommended for Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie fans.

I received an ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
