Many years ago, at the dawn of the podcasting era, my friend Mur Laffery and I were podcasters. We were also writers, me mostly non-fiction, Mur fiction (well, actually, we both wrote non-fiction, but Mur wrote – and podcast – a lot more fiction than I did).
She’s written a lot of fiction since then, and I’m currently reading one of her newer books: Station Eternity, Book 1 of The Midsolar Murders. I’d call it a cozy sci-fi murder mystery – the main character is Mallory Viridian, and murders have a tendency to happen in her vicinity … and she often gets caught up in solving them.
Think Murder, She Wrote, but in space … with hive mind insects, rock people, and color-shifting security guards. And, of course, murder.
It’s a good, fun read – perfect for your summer reading list.
