Description
Meet Andorra Pett; with her trusty sidekick Cy, she’s taken over a derelict café.
On a mining station. It just happens to be orbiting Saturn! All she wants is a chance to start again; in a place where nobody knows anything about her or her accident-prone past.
She soon finds that the café holds a secret, and secrets have a habit of coming out; whether you want them to or not. There are some shady characters on the station, everyone wants to be her friend.
Who can she trust? Who’s hiding the truth about what happened to the café’s previous owner Mike? Andorra learns about life in orbit, a farm in space, how to fly a spaceship and a new use for hair straighteners.
All while trying to solve a crime and keep alive.
Read Book 2 of the series, Andorra Pett on Mars, for more adventures with this feisty female lead!
"Agatha Raisin meets Miss Marple, in Space!"
“a tale that has everything - humour, suspense, a strong but struggling heroine, a fantastic sci-fi setting, and a truly universal story.”
Advance Praise
From the off this book caught my eye. The cover intrigued me with a very 1950's Americana style to it which I love. The book itself didn’t let me down either. Having read the synopsis for the first installment of the Andorra Pett series I was looking forward to a mystery read with a bit of a lighthearted slant.
The story follows our protagonist, Andorra Pett, having fled her cheating ex on Earth and ending up on a mining space station orbiting Saturn. Andorra and her best friend and business partner, having left their clothing shop in London behind them, take on the cafe on the station in an attempt to make a new life for themselves.
It seems even in space Andorra cannot avoid drama. Her dreams for a new life of peace and quiet are scuppered when she discovers the body of the previous owner taking an eternal sleep in the cafe freezer. From here things only get stranger and stranger for Andorra and Cy. Twists and turns abound as the duo meet friends and foes in equal measure.
Richard Dee has crafted a fantastic crime mystery, but rather than being typically bleak, Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud Cafe is filled with humour. The mystery winds its way around a well-crafted setting with an unexpected resolution. There are clearly more adventures awaiting Andorra that I cannot wait to read.
