If I had, I wouldn’t dump the body in the station mall.*When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?)Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: …

Eine Murder-Mystery-Episode, nicht unangenehm, aber sicherlich nicht so gut gelungen wie die bisherigen. Eventuell waren meine Erwartungen zu hoch.
Loved the detective/investigatory angle. Reminds me of some of the old Asimov robot stories in a way, while introducing more of the politics and ethos of Preservation.
Pleasant little bite of Murderbot with some great Pin-Lee moments, but definitely not as heavy (plot wise, or--speaking subjectively--emotionally) as some of the other entries.
The more I read these books, the more I anticipate the upcoming TV series with both glee and apprehension. Can the delightful creature that is Murderbot be adequately portrayed in another format?
A short novella wherein Murderbot turns to detecting! At this point if you don’t like the Murderbot diaries, you probably never will, and if you do like them, you’ll enjoy this book too. This one made me laugh a lot, and fall ever more in love with everybody’s (my) favourite SecUnit.
Another good read in the murderbot series, not much story arch but a good story.
