Summary

A locked-room mystery in a near-future world of politics and alien diplomacy. 

Lydia works as translator for the Logi cultural attaché to Earth. They work well together, even if the act of translating his thoughts into English makes her somewhat wobbly on her feet. She’s not the agency’s best translator, but what else is she going to do? She has no qualifications and no discernible talent in any other field. So when tragedy strikes and Lydia finds herself at the center of an intergalactic incident, her future employment prospects look dire—that is, if she can keep herself out of jail! But Lydia soon discovers that help can appear from the most unexpected source....

The narrator added flavour with different tones and accents (eventhough 1 was a bit painful to hear-Undine). The lead's side comments were often hilarious. I grieve for Fitz and have been waiting for the lead to process that but fell short in the end. The twist in the end was not expected though. Overall, it was an easy listen.

Sci-fi Whodunnit

Terrible American accents from British narrator really distracted from the story: saying "Canader" instead of 'Canada',
Premise of the story was interesting, but my interest fell away towards the last third.

Bad faux American accent

Could read a lot more of these - milieu and personalities. Would like to get even more about these aliens and these slightly future times. Reader brilliant. Managed to give all the large cast of characters a unique voice. Yes, even the jokey but not far off the mark Vassar deb. Altogether Ace!

Really good Who-Done-It with ALIENS
