When I began reading You’ve Got Murder I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to finish it.   Being such a character driven reader I wasn’t sure how I was going to like an Artificial Intelligence Personality being my lead character, however Turing Hopper showed her “humanity” through out the story.

Turing’s programmer Zach has gone missing and she notices and enlists the aid of two human co-workers, Tim and Maude,  to help her do the physical “looking” for Zach.  However, what none of them know is that there are some truly evil guys looking for Zach as well and are now on the trail of Tim and Maude.

Although Andrews did a wonderful job of creating the character of Turing and making her more human than I originally thought, the book and the plot were rather dry and bare.  I didn’t truly feel any edge of my seat excitement or thrills that in my opinion should have been a part of this story.  The plot line was clever and could have gone many different ways, however it went as expected and truly didn’t give me anything special.  While I may go and read more in this series I am not begging to have them right now.
