Malka Older (2024)
(Not a review, just some notes to help me remember the things I've read. But written this way because it's the Internet, and some people will stumble across this page.)
This is another audiobook that I should've given another listen to. (I listened to the first two chapters twice.) However, I returned it and moved on to the next book. It was a mystery, and I heard the ending, so I don't know that listening again will matter much.
The book is a sequel to The Mimicking of Known Successes, and like that one starts with missing people who couldn't fallen to their deaths for all anyone knows. But the team of Mossa and Pleiti (the Sapphic Holmes and Watson) are on the case to locate not just one but a bunch of academics who have disappeared.
And to discover why one of them was murdered, and by whom. Probably the one that tried to kill Pleiti as well.
It leads to a discovery that is similar to one that occurred in the first book, but is a bit different.
As with last time, I'm not exactly sure how this ring system works, or how the platforms are arranged on them. I'm assuming that there's a series of concentric equatorial rings that have tracks for a train (or monorails) and that the stations are built along them like little space cities.
The story was enjoyable, and I'll likely request the next book at some point.
