Tesla (famous in her own right as a wealthy heiress & engineer/inventor, disabled after a major accident) and Shal (handsome, sweet retired detective who embroiders) are a delight, trying to travel incognito on a starship to Mars on their honeymoon. Absolutely worth your time if you enjoy people being smart, fashionable, and witty on film while solving murder.) Technically, it’s also a holiday movie since much of it is set in late December and there’s a major party scene. Everyone is witty and elegant and there is some power drinking. (CONTEXT: For those of you unfamiliar with this film from the 1930s, it’s a comedy where William Powell, Myrna Loy, and their dog Asta solve a murder. I’m clearly the target audience for this book, since the tag line is “The Thin Man in Space” and I adore The Thin Man.
