Fugitive Telemetry

In book six Murderbot, our favorite SecUnit, gets caught up in a murder investigation at Preservation Station.
It should have been easy as that is just the kind of job it was designed for. Unfortunately, things don't go smoothly. First of all station security doesn't trust it, which makes things awkward. (After all, Murderbot is a SecUnit and everyone knows they are prone to go rogue.) And then, as the investigation proceeds it becomes evident that this isn't simple human-passion driven murder. Something much deeper is going on. The killer's tracks have been very skillfully covered. All of Murderbot's considerable abilities will be called on to solve the mystery and bring the culprit to justice.
Murderbot remains a grumpy droid. The story is spiced up with its trademark internal (mostly) sarcastic and witty observations on the actions of bumbling humans.
The previous book in the series was a full length novel, but here Martha Wells returned to the novella length, which I think is more suited to the series.
Anyway, damn good story. Kevin R. Free provides an excellent narration.
Solid four stars.
