Station Eternity

Finalist of the Manly Wade Wellman Award. Goodreads Finalist. From peaceful small villages to claustrophobic urban landscapes — wherever Mallory Viridian is, she will inevitably be drawn into murder cases that only she can solve. But remaining the charming amateur... detective, followed closely by death, is only possible on the pages of a classic detective novel, while in reality, you turn into a constant suspect and social outcast. So, when Mallory has the opportunity to hide in a reasonable space station, she seizes this chance. The murders will stop if her only companions are alien beings. And at first, it is so — a calm atmosphere and no murders. But when the station decides to invite a new delegation of Earthlings, Mallory realizes that the period of tranquility in her unusual life has come to an end. Immediately after the arrival of the first Earth shuttle, the station is in danger, as aliens and humans begin to die. Finding herself in the center of an extraterrestrial investigation and wondering why this is happening to her again, Mallory must solve the crime as quickly as possible, or the list of victims will very soon include everyone on board… "A wonderful novel.
