Becky Chambers meets Miss Marple in the third entry of this cozy sci‑fi mystery series, helmed by a formidable no‑nonsense auntie of a detective.
As the Fairweather approaches the halfway point of its journey, Dorothy Gentleman may have reached the end of hers...
It's been a long lifetime, and Dorothy's current body is on its last legs. With a new terminal diagnosis from Medical, she's counting the days until her next reembodiment. But then a young man with someone else's face sits down and claims he is Dorothy's next embodiment ‑ someone has triggered the system early, using the memory‑book Dorothy last updated over a month ago.
Meaning that according to the laws, when Dorothy dies this time ‑ it will be permanent.
Now Dorothy and her doppelganger must sift through that last month of memories, looking for a secret someone's trying to erase. And all the threads lead back to the very first murder that happened on the Fairweather, five hundred years ago. A case which remains unsolved ‑ and in which Dorothy was a witness, not a detective. All while an old enemy finally dares to step out of the shadows...
