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!

      Hugo and Nebula Award–winner Wells brings her solitude-craving, media-loving killer robot protagonist another step closer to independence in the entertaining sixth entry in the Murderbot Diaries series (after Network Effect). A dead body found in Preservation Station mall propels Murderbot, a SecUnit, into a new contract as a consultant in the murder investigation. Murderbot hopes to gain the refugee status that would enable it to stay in the Preservation Alliance, but it’s an uphill battle as rogue SecUnits are feared as unhinged killers—an unfounded fear in this case, as Murderbot wants nothing more than to catch up on its favorite soap opera in peace. Vexed by the illogical humans it’s forced to work with, Murderbot patiently explains its way through the clues it uncovers, and Senior Officer Indah can’t help being impressed with Murderbot’s investigative skills and surprisingly compassionate regard for life. Murderbot’s wry observations of human behavior are as humorous as ever and the mystery is thoroughly satisfying. This is another winning series installment. Agent: Jennifer Jackson, Donald Maass Literary.

      Kevin R. Free narrates the latest Murderbot novella, in which nothing is as straightforward as it seems. When a dead body is unexpectedly found on Preservation Station, Murderbot enters into an uneasy partnership with station security to discover who the victim was and why they were killed. Free leans into Murderbot's description of itself as a "construct made of cloned human tissue, augments, anxiety, depression, and unfocused rage"--and adds a goodly helping of sarcasm to the mix--to create a deeply relatable portrait of an individual struggling to find their place in an often hostile and confusing world. While Murderbot would be aghast at the notion, Free offers an engaging and empathetic portrayal that highlights its inherent humanity. K.M.P.

      David Cui Cui once again becomes Murderbot as he performs the sixth book in the series. When a body is found on Preservation Station, Murderbot must assist investigators, who include no-nonsense, unflappable Indah, portrayed by Gail Shalan. There's also human trafficking afoot. Amid witty comments and wry asides, listeners learn all about the smuggling on space stations, along with bots and their sometimes-murderous tendencies. Cui Cui ably switches his cadence when Murderbot communicates via internal networks, when it speaks aloud to humans, and when it merely narrates the detailed story. Numerous other robots and investigators are cleverly voiced by a full cast. This intense investigation of murder and smuggling is punctuated with bangs, clangs, other mechanical sounds of battle, and sporadic mood music. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
