I put off reading this one for quite some time, because the main character is an AIP and I am not by an stretch of the imagination a computer whiz. I was worried I wouldn't be able to follow the story. I was wrong.
The mystery story was quite compelling, with the interweaving of assumed identities, murder, and pieces that don't make sense. I found myself very fond of Turing, despite the fact that she is a sentient computer program; I liked the other main characters as well. The involvement of an on-line RPG and the sinister possibilities of that world were fascinating and explained in simple enough terms that I could follow along. It just occurred to me that I wasn't even sorry that this book was not funny, like most in the authors' other series, which means I liked this book more than I thought or expected to. I will definitely need to track down the others in this series and read them.
