James S.A. Corey's Leviathan Wakes
I was thinking about starting the Expanse tv show, but I am exactly the kind of person who wants to read the books first, so here we go! There is a LOT going on in this first one, but it mainly involves two characters: the first is a washed-up cop looking for a missing woman (the reader knows nothing good has happened to her), which leads him into a much bigger mystery; the second is an XO on a water hauling spaceship who also gets drawn into the bigger mystery after witnessing several weird attacks on spaceships, and he's just trying to keep his remaining crew alive, but also has started a war? The pace picks up a lot once these characters collide, and there are a lot of surprises for sure. It was still a bit slow and no comment on the women characters (I hear this improves in later books and look forward to finding out). B+.
