Have you tried Andy Weir's books? The Martian, Artemis, and Project Hail Mary are all puzzle and problem solving, though some of the stakes are life and death

I think you'd enjoy The Spare Man, which is a space cruise liner murder mystery from Mary Robinette Koval. She won the 2019 prize for Calculating Stars, but I think The Spare Man is a much lighter read

Another fun sci-fi mystery with relatively low stakes is Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty. High concept, low stakes, fun

Long Way to a Small Angry Planet might work too
