I enjoyed this light-hearted futuristic mystery. It's hard to pin down what category this book falls in - it's mostly sci-fi with a murder mystery, lots of funny puns, and lots of talk about food. It does make you think about prejudice, in this case androids vs. non-enhanced humans. My only complaint with this book is that it has a lot of characters to keep track of.

My thanks to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Too much of anything is not good. Sherlock Mars - - Just not what I picture future space travel to be; or I would hope not! I realize this is suppose to be a comical story but it is just too much silliness and plays on words leading to the constant shaking of my head. Molly Marbles has a restaurant on Mars along with her being an amateur detective. Plot includes a murder, the planning of her daughter's wedding, and the prejudice of artificial life. Many characters involved make the Who done it? a mystery in itself. Some of the prose was cute and the hopping from planet to planet was interesting. A study of all the witty comparisons with our Earth would make an entertaining project.
