5.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Deny Yourself the Pleasure of This Book, 18 Dec 2004
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Access Denied (Hardcover)
For the last six months, artificial intelligence personality (AIP) Turing Hopper has been monitoring the credit card account of Nestor Garcia, hoping to gain a clue on the were abouts of this criminal. Still, she's shocked when she finds a charge on the account. When she finds the order is going to an empty house, she sends Tim out to see who shows up. Unfortunately, Tim falls asleep on his stake out and wakes up to find the police accusing him of a murder that occurred while he was out. With the stakes raised, Turing, Maude, and Tim spring into action. But can they solve the puzzle? Is there more here then simple credit card fraud? Was Garcia a victim even though he doesn't fit the pattern? And will they give away Turing's secret with all their on-line snooping?

I loved this book! It drew me in from page one and I had a hard time putting it down until I was finished. Turing, though an AIP, is a very real character. The sub-plot dealing with her relationships with her human friends is very well done. The mystery plot is deftly handled as well, and I couldn't wait to see where things were going. The ending left me intrigued and I'm already impatient for the next in the series.

This is not your normal cozy series because it includes a strong hi tech/sci-fi element. But for anyone looking for something different, this is a great place to start. Just be sure you read them in order starting with YOU'VE GOT MURDER because this series builds on each other big time, both in character interaction and plot. This book will spoil the first two for you by necessity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Open Access, 4 Dec 2009
By James Edmundson (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the 3rd book in the Turing series by Donna. I made the mistake of reading this one before getting the 2nd book and was a little lost with the plot as it does not stand alone as much as the first book did. There are some loose ends to be tied up in the 4th book when I read that one.
A very interesting and at times thought provoking series. None of the laughs and mayhem of the Meg series which I enjoyed very much.
Interesting, but I would certainly read them in order.
