Set in the near future that has seen the world devastated by climate change, this book features Detective Jen Lu and the sentient bio-computer implanted in her, Chandler. They have a very interesting relationship and brings a freshness to the storyline. I especially like it when we see the plot unfold through Chandler's POV. His observations on human behaviour are astute and at times, humorous too. I enjoy how the pace of the book goes. Jen is fighting against everybody as she investigates a murder that had been ruled an accident. In fact, she's the only one who thinks there is a murder committed. Even Chandler is skeptical, but since he's linked to her, there's nothing he can do but help. This is the second book featuring Jen and Chandler. I haven't read the first one. But this can definitely be read as a standalone, notwithstanding references to events from the first book. Overall, an enjoyable murder mystery/ police procedural story.
