Milk Run (Smuggler's Tales From The Golden Age Of The Solar Clipper Book 1)

*Minor Spoilers*

A very strange book. The title character is accused of murder and has to run away into exile. This murder charge is never referenced again even when she is literally talking to cops in a place that is supposed to care about it. After that there is a good deal of discussion about coffee. The book is evidently called milk run because they spend so much time talking about coffee that they run out of milk. Eventually the plot happens. The plot is largely concerned with spare parts inventory and auditing. So... much ... auditing. If you are interested in thrilling tales about how parts are scanned in and out of storage, this is the book for you. At the end something happens, but still not really very much. More coffee is consumed.

I managed to get through the whole book because there is something compelling about the protagonist although I'm not certain what but it was almost bizarrely barren of any kind of action or excitement. 

One thing is certain, in space, no one can hear you make coffee.
