This character-driven locked-room murder mystery set in space is as intriguing as the title. Michelle "Shell" Campion is a young captain of the colony ship Ragtime. However, human captains helm spaceships in name only, as the ship's AI does all the work. After 10 years, she awakens from stasis, ready to deliver the thousand-plus colonists to the planet Bloodroot, and discovers that 32 people have been murdered and cut into tiny pieces. On top of that, Ragtime's AI isn't responding appropriately to her commands. Meanwhile, on Bloodroot, detective Fin has been declared off duty after a disaster on the job. When word reaches Bloodroot of Shell's little murder issue, Fin's superiors put him on the job. If he can figure out who the murderer is, he'll have his job back. However, Fin hates space, and he has depression. With aliens, androids, too-curious politicians, and a rogue AI, this new novel from Tade Thompson manages to be both a romp and a puzzle. —Margaret Kingsbury

In 1916, Sven Ormson leaves his hectic life in Stockholm to become a miner in Svalbard, where it's dark four months out of the year and polar bear attacks are as common as the northern lights. But when Sven is disfigured by a mining accident, he further flees society to huddle in a homemade hut on an uninhabited fjord with only his dog for company. Years later, an unlikely visitor draws Sven out of his isolation and into a found family of fellow castoffs. Surprisingly humorous, this heartwarming story reminds us that love can reach the iciest depths of our hearts, even in the most inhospitable locations. —Kirby Beaton

Professionally, Leda Foley is a travel agent Foley's Flights of Fancy. In her personal life, she's a psychic, whose abilities are on the fritz and completely unreliable in helping her figure out who murdered her fiancé. (Though she does try to hone her powers at Klairvoyant Karaoke, where she sings the first song that comes to mind after holding someone's personal belongings.) She books a flight for Seattle PD detective Grady Merritt, but changes it at the last minute. When Grady watches his original plane blow up before his very eyes, he recognizes Leda's abilities and enlists her to help him solve a cold case that's been haunting him for years. The duo, along with the help of a rag-tag group of bar patrons, team up to catch a killer, and realize their two unsolved cases just might be connected. —Shyla Watson
