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.

I loved the concept of this book. It was an enjoyable read and I thoroughly enjoyed the setting and plot.

This was a silly quirky sci-fi mystery. The characters weren't super deep, but the names, "historical" references, and technologies were a lot of fun and really caught my imagination.

Molly owns a restaurant, and the owner of the virtual restaurant next door is killed in her kitchen during a joint event. Molly investigates this while running her restaurant and planning her daughter's high-profile wedding. The wedding was probably my favorite part of the book :). There is also some tension between androids and humans. Anyway - tons of clever references made this an enjoyable book to read.

A light, summer, beach read that mixes outer space with whodunnit, and humor.

This story is about how Molly, a chef of a popular restaurant on terra-formed Mars investigates the death of a patron, alongside friendly police (that aren't quite up to the mental CPU speed of Molly). Molly has experience in this; it's her second time around solving a murder case. (Though this novel isn't a sequel, it involves some characters from Chocolate, Chocolate Moons, a prior book by the author. It's clearly not a problem to have not read the first book.)

This book is notable for ... puns. A couple gets married; the official married name: Mr. Burton Ernie. Neah, neah, neah. Names for people, food & places all harken to *something* you know; you just need to identify it.

The story is pretty light-hearted, as is the plot line. Nothing serious here; you'll blow through it quickly, rolling your eyes (nay, "spinning" them?) frequently. This isn't designed to be a novel you talk to your friends about because of it's deep ideas & concepts - though, to her credit, the author thinks up some pretty fun sci-fi ideas, like "virtual eating". (Ya gotta read it....)

All in all, if you're up for a serious, interstellar war between planet-sized AIs and multiple races around the galaxy,, this won't be a book you'll want. But if you're hungry (food), want to read some interesting-sounding dish names, and wade through a set of clues - all discarded - until the bad guy is caught, then this is your book for the summer.

Suburb take on a classic! Mystery is my favorite genre at the moment and this book did justice!

It's puny and funny and out there in space! I laughed a good bit with this witty and cute read. Murder and mystery mix with Mars. How can you resist that? I couldn't! It's a comedy that I actually enjoyed.

My copy came from Net Galley. My thoughts and opinions are my own. This review is left of my own free volition.

This book was a very good read! I liked the characters and their personalities and even how Molly was trying to connect the dots by talking to her staff in figuring out the mystery. I do like how this depiction of how Mars would be terra formed since one of my fave podcasts has been talking about that subject lately.
