The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles

By: Malka Older

Narrated by: Lindsey Dorcus

INVESTIGATOR MOSSA AND SCHOLAR PLEITI REUNITE TO SOLVE A NEW MYSTERY IN THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE COZY SPACE-OPERA DETECTIVE MYSTERY THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES, WHICH HUGO AWARD–WINNING AUTHOR CHARLIE JANE ANDERS CALLED “AN UTTER TRIUMPH.”

Mossa has returned to Valdegeld on a missing persons case, for which she’ll once again need Pleiti’s insight. Seventeen students and staff members have disappeared from Valdegeld University—yet no one has noticed. The answers to this case may lie on the moon of Io—Mossa’s home—and the history of Jupiter’s original settlements during humanity’s exodus from Earth.

But Pleiti’s faith in her life’s work as a scholar of the past has grown precarious, and this new case threatens to further destabilize her dreams for humanity’s future, as well as her own.

a fun mystery

I love how this series is written. The main character POV is vary fun and seeing the love between the two main characters

I love this series!

Another fantastic effort by Older and the characters are even better developed! I look forward to the next book!

Boring

I gave up after the first chapter which was as exciting as a room full of accountants. The author can’t hold the reader’s attention and s in need of an editor to remove all of the pointless details
