Richard Milford had four wives, plenty of enemies, and a remarkable talent for making people want him dead. Nafissa Thompson-Spires turns his murder into a wickedly funny mystery where everyone has a story.
Rocket science is hard enough without adding magic, murder, and pirate treasure to the equation. The Starseekers is wildly imaginative, occasionally overstuffed, and still a pretty fun ride.
