Hey Lemmings,
I’ve just finished up the second of John Scalzi’s Lock-In novels and I’m looking for some recommendations for some new books in the same vein. I’ve enjoyed a bunch of sci-fi mysteries like The Murderbot series, the I Robot novels, even Niven’s ARM stories. So throw me some more like that if you can.

Check out Elizabeth Bear's White Space novels, not a trilogy but 3 books set in the same universe. Each has a main mystery set in a pretty well written universe.
A bit more melodrama than what I usually read, but al in all a solid set of books.

This one seems hard to find but I’ll put a request in at my local library to see if they can get a copy on loan from another library system.

Yeah, so I normally get my books online through Libby library app, I even have 2 cards from back in the US and it's frustrating to see book 1 & book 3 available at the library but book 2 somehow isn't?

So in that case I go to
