Spiders From Mars
Better hang on to yourself! This homage to David Bowie and his Ziggy Stardust character sends space sleuth Sylvia Stryker on an adventurous mission to get her mentor out of jail while solving the murder of a space pirate. Life on Mars has never looked like this! “The book's mystery is well done with many twists and turns, and it succeeds at keeping the reader guessing.” – Susan, Goodreads Even the stars need a rebel sleuth... Space detective Sylvia Stryker always dreamed of life on Mars, but reality is far from a starry-eyed fantasy now that her cosmic companion, Neptune, is locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. Between her full-time Moon Unit gig and her side hustle designing outfits that are light years ahead, Sylvia is determined to break him free. But when a space pirate bites the dust behind bars, and Neptune is framed as the culprit, Sylvia risks losing her Starman forever. Proving Neptune’s innocence is no rock 'n' roll suicide—it’s worse thanks to his lifetime of accruing enemies. Now Sylvia must track down the real killer while navigating a galaxy full of heroes and villains. As the pressure mounts, she finds herself tangled in a labyrinth of corruption: ground control manipulation, a shady team of freelancers, and a boss who's as cold as the thin white duke. Alone, under pressure, and with the universe’s fate hanging by a thread, Sylvia faces her oddest space odyssey yet. Framed on a Moon Trek is the fourth quirky adventure in the Sky Crimes and Mysteries series. If you like resourceful characters, unique settings, and outer space fun, then you’ll love Diane Vallere’s entertaining interstellar series. “I raced to the end and loved every minute of the book. Now I'm going to read the whole series again! So much fun!” – Barbara H, Goodreads “Yes, this sounds like many of the cozy mysteries I read a love, but there is a twist to it – Sylvia’s adventures all take place in space. The setting is fun and detailed, but it never takes away from the action.” – Mark B, Goodreads “The mystery is a very good cozy set in hypothetical space. It really does remind me of watching the original Star Trek 'Lost in Space/ Battlestar Galactica of my childhood.” – Janet, Goodreads “The description on this book gives you a good idea about the plot but doesn't tell you that the story moved along pleasantly, there were fun references to David Bowie and pop space culture, and all my favorite characters were there doing what they do best, including Pika the sugar addicted alien.” – Richard, Goodreads
