No, I didn’t kill the dead human. 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: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans!

Again!

Just finished reading this, which I hoped would be a quick read between other, more serious reads. (It was, and it wasn’t). Murderbot is adorable, but this is one of the less enjoyable books in the series; nothing wrong with it, but only mildly interesting compared to the other ones. Pleasant enough.

Rated: 6/10
