You've Got Murder
4 journalers for this copy...
From the back cover:
Meet Turing Hopper, the "perfect cyber-sleuth for the new millennium" [*BookBrowser]. An Artificial Intelligence Personality—AIP for short—she's a mainframe computer with a mind like Miss Marple...and hardware that hides a suspiciously human heart.
AIP Turing Hopper is in a panic. Her creator, Zack, has missed work for several days. After exhausting her resources, Turing is still far from giving up. For, unlike other AIPs, Turing is sentient—and she senses foul play. Her skills of deduction may be virtually flawless. But it'll take more than that for a digital detective to catch a flesh-and-blood criminal...
Well, it was a thoroughly delightful read. Turing is an appealing character, and I'm glad to know that she appears in several sequels. The trick now is to find those books.
Mailed on 7 March to Pepper.
This arrived the other day, and has been sitting on my desk all week waiting to be journaled. Oops.
Thanks for sending it!

This was a cute book, and one that I enjoyed more than I expected to. I really liked it when Turing was interacting with the people, and even with KingFischer, but I got a little bored at times when she was monologuing. Ah well.
Still, I'd probably pick up the next book in this series if I stumbled across it.
This one is on it's way to Teachie.

An interesting concept - a sentient computer. An enjoyable quick read, I shall be looking out for others in this series.
This is now off to Iliotropio
