The Mimicking of Known Successes presents a cozy Holmesian murder mystery and sapphic romance, set on Jupiter, by Malka Older, author of the critically acclaimed Centenal Cycle.
On a remote, gas-wreathed outpost of a human colony on Jupiter, a man goes missing. The enigmatic Investigator Mossa follows his trail to Valdegeld, home to the colony’s erudite university―and Mossa’s former girlfriend, a scholar of Earth’s pre-collapse ecosystems.
Pleiti has dedicated her research and her career to aiding the larger effort towards a possible return to Earth. When Mossa unexpectedly arrives and requests Pleiti’s assistance in her latest investigation, the two of them embark on a twisting path in which the future of life on Earth is at stake―and, perhaps, their futures, together.

It felt a little like Sherlock Holmes, knowing Mossa had answers but Pleiti was the one telling the story as her sidekick.

The narrator had engaging character work, but the words were a bit garbled sometimes. I wish there had been clearer pronunciation. But this narrator had subtle acting work that lent itself to the world.
Strong mystery, but limited characterization

Older’s world building around Jupiter is spartan without a sense of how extensive this branch of humanity actually is. The detective case is interesting, but heavily influenced by unique features of the habitat itself. The most compelling aspect, but getting brief attention, is the divergence in opinions about the Earth’s future ecological state.
The narration is reasonable with decent character distinction. Pacing is smooth and a bit slow.
