“The Imposition of Unnecesary Obstacles” by Malka Older is a delightful follow-up to “The Mimicking of Known Successes.”  It’s the queer ND space Holmesian mystery we deserve, along with tea and scones.  There is university politics, chisme, and the longing for a home that never was.  Highly recommended.
