This one was a bit of a murder mystery/whodunnit/almost a buddy cop moment and I’m not mad about it at all.  I don’t think it moved the major overarching story much but it did develop more of the interpersonal relationships that Murderbot has been, let’s say, cultivating in a quasi-antagonistic manner.

Not my favorite Murderbot story so far (Network Effect takes the cake for that one), but still a very enjoyable tale! There are some contrivances that prevent Murderbot from being able to solve this mystery immediately that occasionally seemed a little unreasonable, but not enough to detract from enjoyment. My only complaint is that the climax felt like it lurched forward just a little, rather than being a direct result of anyone's actions. Still fun!

This book starts with a dead body and a need for Murderbot to figure out who killed the human--fast. It follows a mystery plot, set on Preservation Station. This station is more fully realized than before, bringing together its unique elements, setting-typical technology, and some upsetting implications of the cultural clash between the Corporation Rim and non-corporate polities, well-handled. Murderbot's use of sarcasm to cope extends throughout this book (as well as demonstration of why its defenses are necessary). Murderbot doesn't seem to know it, but it does make some friends along the way.
