What fun!

I came to this hoping to find a mainstream (i.e. adult) story among all the high school monsters and zombies, but the hard-boiled ‘tec bit quickly slipped into SF, at least to the extent of a robot client.

But it’s not really SF, it’s humor.  A close cousin would be Roger Rabbit, with the detective involved in something not at all real, but a huge lot of fun.

Once that’s established, things move along, then blow sky high.  This is the sort of story that tends to get under-rated.  The light tone and faux deadpan makes it look easy.  But it’s the real thing, albeit wild and crazee

My favorite line so far: (and an example of the understatement I mentioned)  "Her face was unreadable- robot emotions can be hard to interpret."
