Detective/mystery novel in the I, Robot universe. Clever characters and dialog, but weak "detective" action. I've heard later books are better, but this one falls short.
Read with daughter, after we completed all of the various Robot stories and novellas. She observes that many of the character types have been seen before, and this is very true. Human plain clothes man must overcome his prejudice and work with robot partner to solve a murder. One session of questions and three accusations, the first two wrong.
Meh, rounded up to 3 stars because it's Isaac Freakin' Asimov. I really hope later books *are* better.
