À propos de cet audio

Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award winner Mary Robinette Kowal blends her no-nonsense approach to life in space with her talent for creating glittering high-society in this stylish SF mystery, The Spare Man.

Tesla Crane, one of the richest women in the world, is on her honeymoon on an interplanetary space liner, cruising between Earth and Mars. She’s traveling incognito and is reveling in her anonymity. Then someone is murdered and her husband is named as the prime suspect. To save him from the frame-up, Tesla will risk exposure and face demons from her past.

Even though doing so might make her the next victim.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I loved this book on so many levels. For anyone who is a fan of the Thin Man Series of movies from the 1930's-1940's AND who loves science fiction AND smart, interesting women characters AND who loves representation of the diversity of peoples AND a wonderful performance, I think this will be the treat you were looking for. I will listen to this book again - soon!

Fantastic!

A glamorous, retro futuristic space cruise ship and a twisty, surprising murder mystery, and an adorable westie? A great listen!

Terribly Enjoyable

Wasn't sure what to expect, but decided to give it a try which turned out to be mostly enjoyable.
A fancy rich lady goes incognito on a space cruise for her honeymoon, and her and her new husband get tangled up in a murder that happens to the point of needing to solve it and clear their names.
Tesla Crane is an interesting character. She is rich and influential, but also afflicted with significant chronic physical pain and mental health pain to the point of needing a service dog. So she has a unique mix of privilege and vulnerability.
Seeing her and her husband work through their various challenges and obstacles has a certain charm. There are a couple interesting twists, and the ending doesn't resolve in a predictable way. If you are any level of dog person you can't not like the service dog and how he factors in. There is definite romance subplot content between Tesla and her husband. Nothing explicit, but it happens in the midst of all the investigating and kinda slows everything down, but your take on that would probably vary a lot depending on how much you like that type of content.
It feels well written overall. Everyone feels like a distinct well articulated character. Seeing things play out is interesting and compelling. If you like near future scifi, murder mystery, and romance this book combines them all and is probably worth a look.
