When physicist Sarah Pinsker is murdered at SarahCon — an interdimensional convention where everyone is Sarah Pinsker from a different alternate timeline — only insurance investigator Sarah Pinsker can solve the case.
"And Then There Were (N-One)" was a finalist for the Nebula Award for Best Novella of 2017[1] and the 2018 Hugo Award for Best Novella.[2] It was later republished in the 2019 collection Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea by Small Beer Press.[3]
Tor.com found it "gloriously high-concept", with "a sense of the minute as potentially revelatory",[4] while Kirkus Reviews described it as "phenomenal".[3] Tangent Online, however, considered it "a fairly straightforward murder mystery", and "rather self-absorbed, for obvious reasons".[5]
