I would appreciate some help finding a story I read on lightspeedmagazine.com whose title I've forgotten.

The details I recall are:

  • The lady had a job involving investigation in some form
  • There is a pre-party which she skips out on
  • Sometime early during the conference a version of herself is murdered
  • When she comes across the scene of the crime, she finds another version of herself there, though she appears innocent

Edit: Some extra details

  • I read it sometime within the last two years
  • It was a single written piece not a pdf piece

  • Was that a single piece of fiction or was it in one of those PDFs they make available? (You can edit that info in your post) also - more or less when did you read it?

This is most likely “And Then There Were (N-One)” by Sarah Pinsker

  • The viewpoint character is an insurance claims investigator

  • There is a murder

  • All characters involved in the murder (victims, investigator, suspects) are alternate timeline versions of the main character

The only difference is that in appeared in Uncanny, issue 15, March/April 2017. You can read it here
