Well, 'Blindsight' by Peter Watts is a remarkable space noir detective novel. It delves deep into the mind of an investigator in a universe filled with strange and alien entities. The story is complex and the science - fictional concepts are really thought - provoking. Also, 'Ancillary Justice' by Ann Leckie has some noir - like elements within its space - opera setting. The main character is on a quest for revenge which is a common noir theme, and the world - building is top - notch.

I would say that 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' by Becky Chambers has a touch of space noir detective in it. It's not a traditional noir but has elements of mystery and character - driven investigation in a diverse and richly - detailed space - faring world. It focuses on the crew of a ship that's on a long journey, and during that journey, there are various mysteries to solve. It's a great read for those who like a more character - centric space noir experience.
