The Mimicking of Known Successes

When a 160 page book feels too wordy, you know there's some issues.
A mystery with no real twists or false turns, a very unoriginal spin on Holmes and Watson, and a somewhat half-hearted plot (though I liked the concept) and the characters were pretty flat and predictable.
I liked the setting though! A great take on outer-planet living, and I thought the logic behind the technology being Victorian-esque was very well executed. That vision of Jupiter was just great!

But the narration style was horrible! I get why it was written that way, but it was just so unpleasant for me. Adverbs are to be used sparingly!! I wouldn't have finished it, but it was only a 4 hour audiobook so I suffered through.
