MURDER BY MEMORY Dorothy Gentleman, Book 1

Blair Baker narrates this sci-fi mystery. Dorothy Gentleman is a detective aboard the HMS FAIRWEATHER, an interstellar passenger ship--spaceship, that is. To her surprise, she wakes up in an unfamiliar body just as a murder victim is found, a situation that leads to several more terrible developments. Baker's depiction of Dorothy's initial confusion over her predicament quickly gives way to confidence and competence as she finds her investigative footing. Baker's tone and cadence are a good fit for the semiretired ship's detective. While Baker's portrayals of the murder suspects are slightly indistinguishable, other secondary characters, such as Dorothy's nephew, Ruthie, and the ship's computer, Ferry, are charming and distinctive.
