The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal
The Spare Man is a locked room mystery set on a cruise line spaceship headed for Mars. It's by the same author who writes the Lady Astronaut Universe alternative history sci‑fi series. I enjoyed it mainly because of the audiobook’s narration. The author reads it herself and sounds like she has a lot of fun doing it.

I can't read any more of this. How did it win the Hugo Award? Feels like a college freshman wrote it. Ugh.
Having read the NF books of women aviators and "lady astronauts" I was expecting much more from this book. I really never got what the point of it was. Very exciting set-up in the early pages that fizzles to personal emotional reflection for the rest of the book. Solid writing. Not what I was expecting.
El primero me gustó mucho y creo que este es mejor incluso, quizá porque gran parte sucede en el espacio. Un libro de viaje espacial, con una tripulación carismática y muchas dosis de ciencia bastante fiel a como seria en la realidad, my kind of jam.
