Publisher's Summary

Amateur detective Mallory Viridian’s talent for solving murders ruined her life on Earth and drove her to live on an alien space station, but her problems still follow her in this witty, self-aware novel that puts a speculative spin on murder mysteries, from the Hugo-nominated author of Six Wakes.

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.

But when the station agrees to allow additional human guests, Mallory knows the break from her peculiar reality is over. After the first Earth shuttle arrives, and aliens and humans alike begin to die, the station is thrown into peril. Stuck smack-dab in the middle of an extraterrestrial whodunit, and wondering how in the world this keeps happening to her anyway, Mallory has to solve the crime—and fast—or the list of victims could grow to include everyone on board….

Critic Reviews

“What a glorious romp. Murder, sentient space stations, and banter. It had everything I wanted.” (Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Calculating Stars)

“A science fiction mystery has to nail both the science fiction and the mystery, and this book passes both tests with flying colors. As bingeable and satisfying as your favorite murder show. I couldn't put it down.” (Sarah Pinsker, Nebula Award-winning author of A Song For A New Day and We Are Satellites)

“Lafferty's characters stomp off the page, kicking ass and taking names as they do. If Jessica Fletcher ended up on Babylon Five, you still wouldn't get anywhere close to this deft, complicated, fast-moving book. Station Eternity kept me up way too late turning pages.” (T. Kingfisher, Hugo and Nebula Award-Winning author of Paladin's Grace and Nettle & Bone)

Fun, unpredictable sci-fi whodunnit

This fun whodunnit is filled with colourful, quirky human, and satisfyingly strange alien, characters. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and kept me guessing right up to the end. Great job by the narrator too for her wry, ironic delivery.
