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.

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.
