The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal
A sly, old‑school locked‑room murder mystery set aboard a luxury interplanetary cruise, where a glamorous, wealthy couple and the ship’s eclectic passengers find themselves stranded with a killer. The narrative follows a sharp, resourceful protagonist as they pick through alibis, sabotage, and social pretense to unmask motives and opportunity, blending Golden Age puzzlecraft with contemporary themes—class, wealth, disability, and queer identity—delivered with wit, suspense, and grounded emotional stakes.
