Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.
Deadpool’s sarcastic potty mouth meets a closed room murder mystery in space.
In the face of an existential threat to her world—an impending alien invasion—Bell Beauregard does something unprecedented: her job. She's rewarded by being labeled a traitor, sentenced to indentured servitude, and shipped off-world on a half-built colony ship being used as an escape hatch for the rich and powerful.
Bell is woken from cryosleep as part of an emergency maintenance crew, but before she even has a chance to shirk her duties or flirt with the enticing Tas, things go full "oh, f#*$ me!" when a fellow prisoner is brutally murdered and Bell is the most obvious suspect. To have any chance with Tas—and, like, clear her name and stuff—Bell must begrudgingly solve the murder.
But false accusations, unrequited romance, and having to make an effort are the least of Bell's concerns. Because the killer isn't content to stop at one victim. And if Bell can't unravel the mystery, the only way to prove her innocence may be to turn up dead.
Murder on the Interstellar Express by Gregory D. Little is expected out August 13th, 2024 from Cursed Dragon Ship Publishing.
Why am I waiting on this book: I like the idea of a locked room mystery set on a spaceship. And I like that the story is told with humor. Bell sounds interesting. I want to know more about what happens to her as she attempts to solve the mystery without ending up dead.

I really like the sound of this one too! We need more mysteries set in space. I hope you enjoy this one when you read it!
