I would actually recommend this to people who have not read the author’s books before because then even the personal part of the plot will feel as fresh as the murder mystery part. It was not something I suspected but was satisfied with as having made the most sense. The murder mystery is complex, with many twists and turns, and the investigation is very painstakingly conducted while evading the many hurdles that are constantly making their way into the narrative. This is probably one of my main reasons for rating it the way I am.
When they are together, they do not seem like fresh new characters.
It has been a while since I read other books by the author, but in this particular balance, the conversation is almost a repeat of the ones in the other books. The other half, the relationship between her husband and her, seemed very familiar. Tesla suffers from constant pain, and that forms a chunk of the narrative. They are flying in space when a server is found dead, and the last person caught on camera is Tesla’s new husband. She is therefore flying incognito on her honeymoon. Tesla Crane is an extremely rich and powerful person on the planet.
On the one hand, I like building up the backstory and the surroundings without being handed over all the details in a straightforward manner – on the other, I felt like I might be missing a key piece to some puzzle. I am torn between what I think of this style. This book makes it feel like you are entering a series mid-way without it actually being the case.
