Description

For everything there is a season…
Once the star student of her training class, Captain Liz Laika is now an outcast, a casualty of family scandal. Now stuck in the worst post in the Fleet, she should keep her head down. But when a Cerulean passenger is found decapitated, and Liz is framed for the murder, she has no choice but to fight for her life. No easy feat when she's facing kidnapping, ship-eating whales, horse-sized spiders and corrupt fleet officers with personal vendettas. And in the middle of the intergalactic murder drama, her ex-fiancé reappears. Captain Liz needs to clear her name--and fast.

    I just recently found Nikki Haverstock’s books. I’ve enjoyed all of them. This one, I presume it being the first in an upcoming series, was especially good. Concise writing, humor, danger, all wrapped up in a cozy, space faring mystery. I’m really looking forward to the next book and all of the others in the series that I hope she is planning to write. (Hope, hope!)
  • Highly recommend!

    This was incredibly awesome! I think the author had mentioned this was a mashup of cozy mystery and space opera and YES! What a perfect blend! I absolutely LOVED Liz and her crew. I loved the development they had individually and as a crew. There adventures were definitely one-of-a-kind and made me lean forward, laugh, roll my eyes, and cheer. (I read this is one setting if that says anything!) Truly, this was a fantastic reading experience! I want more of these characters and already keeping a keen eye out for the next book! (Plus, I want to see where their adventures will take them next!) Highly recommend! *(I received an e-copy from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. All thoughts expressed are my own.)*

    This book is definitely a cozy, in the best sense of the word. It has a murder our heroine has to solve, it’s very sweet with hint of romance and it’s full of quirky characters. It just happens to be set in space, our heroine is a ship captain and the crew is mostly not human. I laughed aloud several times reading this book, which is my highest praise for a cozy. I enjoyed the entire book and loved the characters.
  • A wonderful adventure

    This was an enjoyable story that has Liz going from a star pupil to an outcast in a terrible station. If that is bad enough she if framed for murder with a lot of weird things and officers with their own vendettas. And her ex shows up! Will she figure it all out? Can’t wait for the next book! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
  • Another quality series in the works!

    Great start to a new series by a stellar cosy author. I’ll be honest, I’m not usually a sci fi fan, but a huge fan of her other series, I knew I had to check this one out. It definitely didn’t disappoint, and I can’t wait to read more about this team of misfits as they zoom through space!
  • Entertaining!

    Space Murder is the first book in the Captain Liz Laika Adventures by NL Haverstock. This is a great start to a new series. I found that I could really relate to Liz. It is a great cast of mis-fit characters that are there for each other. There’s also a lot of humor as well as action. I like to read to get away from stress and this was a very entertaining escape. I received this book as a gift and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
