Review: Brilliant Short Story
Rating: 5 out of 5

A long short story this, set in the late 21st century when robots carry out all the menial tasks - nurses, house servants, policemen, prostitutes. A private eye is called on to investigate the murder of a rich man by his robot butler.I loved this book. All the essential elements of classical noir are present, right down to the tongue-in-cheek wisecracks, like this one: The commander looked me up and down. “Stay away from mirrors,” he said. The futuristic setting adds spicy interest to the mixture.Highly recommended.JJ Toner, from The Kindle Book Review
