« Chaos Terminal » Mur Lafferty

Mallory Viridian would rather not be an amateur detective, thank you very much. But no matter what she does, people persist in dying around herand only she seems to be able to solve the crime.

After fleeing to an alien space station in hopes that the lack of humans would stop the murders, a serial killer had the nerve to follow her to Station Eternity. (Mallory deduced who the true culprit was that time, too.)

Now the law enforcement agent who hounded Mallory on Earth has come to Station Eternity, along with her teenage crush and his sister, Mallorys best friend from high school. Mallory doesnt believe in coincidences, and so shes not at all surprised when someone in the latest shuttle from Earth is murdered. Its the story of her life, after all.

Only this time she has more than a killer to deal with. Between her fugitive friends, a new threat arising from the Sundry hivemind, and the alarmingly peculiar behavior of the sentient space station they all call home, even Mallorys deductive abilities are strained.

If she cant find out whats going on (and fast), a disaster of intergalactic proportions may occur.
