Loved this book! Enjoyed the story - the characters and the setting! Will be looking for more in the series and keeping up with the characters.

<i>Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud Café</i> starts with the same basic premise as loads of other cozies: woman breaks up with her boyfriend (after he cheated on her) and runs off to some far away place to start a tea room or bakery or some other place where you can by pastries. The difference: Andorra Pett (Andi) went to a mining station near Saturn. The planet, that is.

With no sense of running a café - Andi used to work in a clothes shop - takes over the lease of the café on the mining station. The previous tenant had completely disappeared about a month previously. Andi soon finds out why: the man is in her freezer. By this time Andi has already befriended Tina, a welder, and Lou and Terri a set of blond and skinny twins. They advise her against informing the authorities.

Mike, the dead man in the freezer, turns out to have had a lot of enemies. He was known for sleeping around and it is rumoured he kept a book on all his conquests. Suddenly, women seem to be throwing themselves at Andi and her partner Cy for a chance to work at the café and - Andi suspects - a chance to search for the book.

Andi decides to look for the book herself to get everyone off her back. Or at least out of her quarters at night when she's trying to get some sleep.

<i>Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud Café</i> is an amusing story. The emphasis is more on how the mining station works than on the mystery of who killed Mike. But then, Andi didn't know Mike, so why should she care, really? I did miss the sleuthing for clues as to who did it, though.
