Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite
I don't know that this book stretches to Novella length. I read it in a sitting. It's a weird Victorian Space Opera. The sensibility of Austin with a bunch of high tech. Something maybe Carriger would write. It's a sapphic mystery about the spaceship's detective, on a centuries long trip, suddenly being roused from storage into a body not her own. She must figure out what has happened and why. But the trip to the solution happens very quickly. We are just settling into the world and the environment when the mystery is solved. There is another book in this series but I think it is equally as short.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
