What would a murder in space look like? (metro.co.uk)

It's about the forensics which don't interest me. Got me thinking about the idea of a classic space murder mystery though along the lines of Agatha Christie's "And then there were none" or "The Decagon House Murders" where it almost has to be someone present in the isolated environment. Would love to read something like that if it's been done.


A few ideas:

"The Expanse" series by Corey "Six Wakes" by Lafferty: a locked-room mystery with a twist "Altered Carbon" by Morgan "Chasm City" by Reynolds


Hey, thanks a lot, will check them out.


Agatha Christie would have to rename her book to "The Body Drifting in the Library".
