Drunk on All Your Strange New Words 

by Eddie Robson 

Tordotcom/Macmillan Press 

   Lydia is a human, a translator working with the extra-terrestrial, Fitz, who is a Logi official in the early days of Earth’s first-contact. The difficulties are many, most profoundly that the Logi communicate telepathically in a language that works like tequila on the human brain. A translator can only do so much before becoming reeling drunk; Lydia and Fitz both understand this and Fitz tries to help Lydia maintain decorum. 

   Unfortunately, a murder occurs and Lydia needs to clear her name within a very dicey situation. Robson writes a deft and humorous science fiction/murder mystery with characters you come to care about and technology you can only wish were real.
