Evidence points to Shal as the murder suspect, which eventually blows their cover. They are on an interplanetary cruise between the Moon and Mars when people start to die. Since Tesla is a rich and famous inventor and Shal is a relatively famous private investigator, they are traveling under assumed names (Tesla as Artesia Zuraw and Shal as Mishal Husband) so as not to draw attention to themselves. Joining them is their West Highland Terrier, Gimlet. Tesla Crane and her husband Shal Steward are on their honeymoon on a cruise ship…a space cruiser. Armed with banter, martinis and her small service dog, Tesla is determined to solve the crime so that the newlyweds can get back to canoodling-and keep the real killer from striking again. Then someone is murdered and the festering chowderheads who run security have the audacity to arrest her spouse. She’s traveling incognito and is reveling in her anonymity. Tesla Crane, a brilliant inventor and an heiress, is on her honeymoon on an interplanetary space liner, cruising between the Moon and Mars. Mary Robinette Kowal takes that familiar blend with wonderful, modern sensibilities in The Spare Man. There’s a nice subgenre that melds murder mysteries and science fiction to give readers stories that are “Mysteries in Spaaaace,” which are probably the most popular of genre mash-ups/marriages. Murder mysteries are very popular stories in movies and books.
