The Mimicking of Known Successes presents a cozy Holmesian murder mystery and sapphic romance, set on Jupiter, by Malka Older, author of the critically acclaimed Centenal Cycle.

On a remote, gas-wreathed outpost of a human colony on Jupiter, a man goes missing. The enigmatic Investigator Mossa follows his trail to Valdegeld, home to the colony’s erudite university―and Mossa’s former girlfriend, a scholar of Earth’s pre-collapse ecosystems.

Pleiti has dedicated her research and her career to aiding the larger effort towards a possible return to Earth. When Mossa unexpectedly arrives and requests Pleiti’s assistance in her latest investigation, the two of them embark on a twisting path in which the future of life on Earth is at stake―and, perhaps, their futures, together.

A great sci-fi mystery with Sherlock Holmes vibes and a touch of sapphic romance that I expect to develop more in the next book. I had no problem with that narrator's accent as it's set in the future where I assume accents would be different to the ones we currently have.

Enjoyable novella

Whilst the description above sound like a fun premise, none of it is done with anything but passable mediocrity. The characters don’t talk like real people, and the sapphic romance is pretty one dimensional slop with no heat. It’s short and decent mystery that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but the world and sci-fi aspects are paper thin and forgettable.

A very nicely written and performed story that evokes Dickens and Conan Doyle with the characters and setting very much taking centre stage.

Lots of mentions of the narrator in other reviews - yes not ideal - but after I got into the story the voice started working for me as the main narrator character, the mishmash of an accent sort of fit the character and the way society is in the book. Story is fab and a great mix of engaging with the characters personal lives and getting sucked into the mystery.

Great mystery story with excellent sci-fi setting
