Summary: Click Here for A Great Computer...
Comment: "Click Here for Murder" is Donna Andrews' second novel, which features Turing Hopper...who is a computer. Well, not JUST a computer, but an AIP (Artificial Intelligence Personality), who solves crimes.
When Ray Santiago is murdered and his laptop disappears, Maude, Tim, and Turing are frantic. Not only are they grieving over the death of their newest member, but apprehensively they must discover how much information has been revealed. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they begin to discover that their co-worker had a few mysteries of his own.
Although I enjoyed the first book, "You've Got Murder," a little more - I really thought that Claudia was a great addition. However, the dual personality with Turing was a little creepy. Overall, I think that most readers would like this series, however.

Summary: Setient computer solves another crime!
Comment: Turing Hopper is a great protagonist. Because she is an Artificial Intelligence Personality (AIP) who is sentient, she gets help from her friends Tim Pincoski and Maude Graham.
Their employee Ray Santiago is killed. They begin to investigate. Unfortunately they end up with more questions than answers. They soon discover that Ray wasn't exactly who he presented himself to be. Plus they can't find his laptop and are concerned that if it fell into the wrong hands, their entire computer security system could be breached. Many things begin to happen. And they discover that Ray was deeply involved in role playing games. They log in to play the computer game only to find it more sinister than they would expect him to be involved with. Then they become aware of the live-action role playing game that goes along with the computer game. It seems that Ray played that too, possibly even the night he was killed. Could this have anything to do with his murder?
Can they find the missing laptop and discover who killed Ray and why before someone else is killed or their computer system is breached?
This is a terrific series. What a unique protagonist. Ms. Andrews has written it so well that you truly believe a computer could do this. The way she uses Tim and Maude to assist her seems so natural. The many things that happen and the way the story twists and turns keeps your interest to the point of finding it hard to put down the book.
She also does a great job of telling the story without using a lot of unrecognizable technical jargon. Computer enthusiast or not, I believe you will enjoy this book.
This is the second in the series and I can't wait to read the third. I highly recommend this book and its predecessor You've Got Murder. They are a fast read with a story that will keep you guessing.

Summary: Click Here For Vapid Novels
Comment: I read the two books by Donna Andrews about the adventures of Turing Hopper, the AI detective, "You've Got Murder" and "Click Here For Murder". These two books are written as shallowly and simplistically as any Nancy Drew or Tom Swift adventure.
Adventures they are, however, so, if naive, juvenile, straightforward prose and univocal storytelling, style and plot is what you are looking for, these two books are worthy of your time. I recommended both of them to my fifteen year old daughter.
I admire that the author produced these two books and is evidently working on yet a third. She is an ardent writer, brimming with energy. Very likely, she won't stop at three or even four installments. She will continue to owe special thanks to "all the readers who, like (her own protagonists,) Maude and Tim, didn't have any problem believing that Turing was real." I daresay I will continue not to number among them.
