A Murderbot murder mystery. Could be called “Murder on Preservation Station”. I kind of wish all the Murderbot books had cheesy descriptive titles. Kind of a utopian-noir, as if Darryl Zero were called to Anarres to solve a mystery. Also features a skeptical but less competent chief inspector character (as seen in Sherlock Holmes and Poirot mysteries). Like in Network Effect, forms of anti-corporate resistance form the background for the plot. Like any good mystery, leaves the door open for more mystery sequels.
