I love Murderbot! This one feels almost Murder She Wrote-esque in its mystery aspect, and that is a huge compliment. It’s fun, it’s creative, it kept me guessing, and it gave me more of what I love from this series!

If a space station murder mystery about a human/robot construct CAN feel slice of life-y, then this novella sure manages it. 
A book about being slightly uncomfortable at all times, but in a fun way (for the reader, anyway).
Reading this after Exit Strategy and before Network Effect makes the best experience.
