Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In the quirky, engrossing fourth "techno-cozy" from Agatha Award–winner Andrews (after 2004's Access Denied), Alexandria, Va., PI Tim Pincoski and his buddy, Turing—an Artificial Intelligence Personality—are hired by Eunice Stallman, whose 22-year-old grandson, Eddie, has landed in the hospital after a hit-and-run. Mrs. Stallman wants Tim and Turing to investigate not the accident (which may have been not so accidental) but her grandson's computer company. The mysteries quickly multiply: is innocent-looking granny really who she claims to be? Was Eddie responsible for a phishing scheme that bilked innocent e-mailers out of thousands of dollars? This novel lacks the local color and charming cast of Andrews's popular Meg Lanslow series (Owls Well That Ends Well, etc.), but it's full of surprising twists and turns and should keep techies glued to the page. (Nov.)

From Booklist
The prolific Andrews, author of the highly popular bird-themed Meg Langslow series, delivers another entertaining installment featuring Turing Hopper. If Turing were human, her kindness, intelligence, and integrity would make her a much-admired protagonist; the fact that she is an AIP, or Artificial Intelligence Personality (sort of like a sentient computer), makes her all the more noteworthy. Running the Alan Grace Corporation like the unseen Charlie of Charlie's Angels, Turing has let a handful of humans in on the truth of her existence. Two of these, Maude and Tim, are working with Turing to discover what happened to Eddie Stallman, a "computer nerd" who hosted Web sites in Virginia and was killed by a hit-and-run driver. As Turing looks into the mystery, she also continues to search for T2, an AIP "sister" who may have been kidnapped by Turing's archenemy, Nestor Garcia. As usual, Andrews concocts a farfetched plot, but readers (justifiably) enamored with Turing won't care. A unique and charming series. Jenny McLarin
