Dead Space delivers an atmospheric sci-fi murder mystery set in the eerie expanse of a space station. The writing shined, immersing me in its creepy ambiance and building tension as the mystery unfolded. While the pacing starts slow, it picks up in the second half, making for a compelling and enjoyable read. 

The horror elements are a bit mild, which may not satisfy fans of more intense scares, and the queer representation, while present, feels somewhat underdeveloped. Still, the engaging plot and skillful storytelling make it a worthwhile experience. 

Dead Space is a solid read, and I’ll definitely keep an eye out for more from this author.
