Review

Fugitive telemetry is the sixth book in the Murderbot series. It’s not the sixth book in the timeline order, so it was a bit jarring to read.

It is a standalone murder mystery. Perhaps because I was reading it after some time - I had finished the fifth book in July of 2025, or because it was not the next book in the series, I did not enjoy it as much.

This book follows Murderbot on preservation station as they try to solve a murder. It is a novella - which is something I enjoy about these books. I enjoyed the twist at the end. The whodunnit of it all. Otherwise I would have rated it as not-for-me.

The ending elevated it though. I may have enjoyed it more had I been reading it in July.
