The Mismatched Recollections of Nebula Knoll

About this book

Framed through the omniscient perspective of a future archivist examining historical records, this cozy mystery follows the events that rattled the subterranean asteroid colony of Nebula Knoll. Seventeen-year-old Prism Marsh works as a freelance Memory-Stitcher, curating and repairing the digital memory-records of her fellow colonists. When Henderson, the beloved bakery-host of the cobblestone district, is found lifeless under mysterious circumstances, the peaceful community is thrown into disarray. Prism decides to investigate, navigating hover-tea carts and glowing hydroponic gardens to gather clues. However, as the archivist analyzes Prism's submitted memory-records, it becomes evident that the teenage stitcher is an unreliable narrator, layering her own illusions and biases into the investigation. Alongside her friend Javier, a hover-tea cart operator, and Shelley, the colony's head botanist, Prism must decode hidden ciphertext and navigate unresolved counseling disputes to find the truth, even if it means confronting the ghostly glitches in her own meticulously crafted recollections.
