Easily my favorite audiobook
Revisado: 04-06-25
The genius here is that they had Alton Brown read this himself. NOBODY else could have done it and pulled it off - there is too much of Alton in this book.
The stories here are less cooking and food science and more "how I got here" - and I loved it. It feels like you're sitting at the kitchen table listening to him tell you these stories, honestly, and it is perfect. I plan on buying the hardcover book soon, but I'm so glad I grabbed the audiobook when it came out. Well worth it.

Historia
From idyllic small towns to claustrophobic urban landscapes, Mallory Viridian is constantly embroiled in murder cases that only she has the insight to solve. But outside of a classic mystery novel, being surrounded by death doesn’t make you a charming amateur detective, it makes you a suspect and a social pariah. So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. Surely the murders will stop if her only company is alien beings. At first her new existence is peacefully quiet…and markedly devoid of homicide.

An interesting take on the entire genre
Revisado: 09-12-24
Have you ever wondered, when reading a typical "cozy mystery" series (or watching "Murder, She Wrote") - how many murders is this person going to be in the middle of, or encounter, before people just start staying away from them completely? When it seems that every few months someone around you is getting killed, or you're discovering a body, I would think that people would stop hanging around you - and imagine the toll on your own mental health.
THAT is essentially the premise for Mur Lafferty's Station Eternity series. Mallory Viridian is a woman who solves murders - and is always around them, connected with them somehow. Unlike the rest of the genre, where nobody seems to think anything is odd about this at all, people start to wonder about Mallory - and start to stay away from her. Mallory wonders about herself as well, and eventually manages to head off into space - where there are no people (no humans, anyway) to get killed around her. Until there are ....
If you are a fan of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently series, you'll enjoy this book and it's rather trippy take on murder mystery tropes. And as in a good Dirk Gently book, you will have to pay REALLY close attention if you want to solve the mystery before Mallory does. That said, this isn't a cozy mystery read - it took me a while, and I put it down several times and read something else to take a break. But Station Eternity pulls you back in every time, and it is worth the effort to really read it and enjoy it.

He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.

Disconcerting Shifts in Narration Mar a Great Stor
Revisado: 05-13-24
For no apparent reason, the narration shifts from a single person, who voices the characters, to the same single person accompanied by a cast of voice actors voicing the characters. Both are good, in themselves - forced together like this it is really not fun.
