I have read and enjoyed the Asimov, many years ago, and the 3 star
Wagner but memories of both are hazy. I doubt whether they will be re-read.

Mur Lafferty has produced some recent examples:

Six Wakes: the clone crew of a colony ship is murdered, so their
replacement clones must figure out what happened.

Station Eternity: Mallory Viridian is a classic cozy mystery heroine,
which she doesn't like at all. So she flees to a new alien space
station where humans are few. Until a tour group arrives, will murder
follow? What do you think?

Chaos Terminal: In the sequel, another visiting group of humans, more
trouble for Mal.

I like SF mysteries, and I like stories set on space stations, so the
second two are a win-win for me. A third in the series is coming.
