Simon reviewed The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal
Review of 'The Spare Man' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Murder mystery on a cruise ship, IN SPACE.
so far so mundane, but unsurprisingly from the author it is... Simply really good, with sharp characterisation and wit A "couldn't put it down" book that I zoomed through in a couple of days.
I liked the gender politics of it :not just the progressive world in which it is set, but that the protagonist is almost a husband and wife team, working together and playing to their strengths.
