Night train to Rigel / Timothy Zahn

Many people have heard of the Orient Express, the famous setting of Agatha Christie's Murder on The Orient Express. Now, imagine this set in space. Simple as that. Or not. I first heard of Timothy Zahn through his Star Wars novels, and when I read them, I was surprised at the depth and complexity of these seemingly simplistic stories. With this novel, he does not disappoint.  I found myself perplexed by the increasing number of twists and turns that this story takes, but I was still enthralled with the equally perplexing way in which he untangles the plot, and makes what was obscure blindingly obvious.

Who would enjoy this? Anybody who likes a good mystery and/or engaging sci-fi
