Review: Three good stories
Rating: 5 out of 5

This set should probably be called a long short story, a novella, and a full-length novel. But, as a former engineer and 'science guy', the science is integral to the every story, and you learn things about the science you might not, otherwise. I think each of the stories was solid, and each was better than the last. If these are Dwiggins' first three stories, there is a clear and obvious progression, as she moves from a very straightforward mystery in the first to  a dark, brooding, no-one's-hands-are-clean mystery that ends in disaster that will have you guessing who did what and wondering if there's any justice until the last few pages. Definitely not your typical mystery, but a far better novel than many mysteries that I've read.
