Fugitive Telemetry

Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells is another great Murderbot Diaries book! This book was published after but set before the Murderbot novel, Network Effect, and is seemingly a self-contained story. Murderbot works with Preservation Station security to investigate a murder (you can imagine how thrilled it is with that arrangement). This novella has all the elements readers have come to know and love in the previous volumes, Murderbot's snark and wit, some action, etc. In some ways I found this book to be a bit less exciting than some of the previous five, especially Network Effect. Something about the plot just didn't feel as high stakes and exciting as the last. It might be the first book I didn't enjoy more than the previous, which is kind of lame, but since we're talking about Murderbot books it was still really good. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

After re-listening I disagree with my earlier assessment that the plot didn't feel high stakes. It's a great book and I really enjoyed it.
