Isaac Asimov's Suspicion: Robot City

This book opens with a word from Asimov as well, discussing the human laws that robots have given. Similar to the Laws of Robotics, the robots dub them the Laws of Humanics. Asimov only states them shortly, however McQuay details them later in his book. There are flaws in these laws.

This book was quick paced compared to the first book. It is also more of a murder mystery than adventure. However, McQuay does balance the mystery with world building. The balance is perfectly written. I am not much of a mystery type of reader, however I never found myself getting bored. The culprit of the murder was not who I thought it was, however I never really had a suspect to begin with.

My only critiques are that there were many spelling errors throughout the book, more so towards the end. As well as McQuay kind of forcing Derec and Kathrine into a relationship. They have no chemistry. Kathrine hated Derec throughout the whole book.

All in all, it was good. Though, I liked the first book more than this one.

Here are my notes during reading. WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW

-Already a page in and I can tell that the author's, Mike McQuay, writing style is different from the previous author's, Michael P. Kube-McDowell. I don't exactly hate it, but I think it's more that I'm not used to it. It's a stark difference from Kube-McDowell's.
-3 pages in and it feel's as though McQuay's Derec and Kate are completely different people. His intro to Derec and his amnesia felt more like the author leaving himself a note to remind himself that Derec is struggling with amnesia rather than allowing it to be fluid and natural, a thing that happened. My reason for thinking this is because in the first book, Derec can remember his job and robot sciences, now he doesn't know what a parade is.
-I do like that the robots feel and sound kind of like a cult.
-What do they mean nudity is common on spacer worlds, what?!
-These robots have not had much experience with humans before.
-Robot City has rain with drops the size of a fist and cold as ice.
-No robots saved him yet. Interesting.
-Unrelated but I faceclaim Derec as Tobias Sammet. Sammet plays a similar personality to Derec in Ayreon's The Source.
-THE ROBOT HARMED DEREC, I SAW IT
-If Kathrine wants to leave so bad then why doesn't she?
-It is a cult, I knew it.
-"What are our lives worth without freedom?"
-I found an inconsistency. The author is implying that since the death of David, the rains have gotten worse and it rains nightly, however in the first book, it did not rain both nights that Derec and Kate had stayed the first time they arrived to Robot City.
-I think it's selfish that Kathrine won't tell Derec about his life before he became an amnesiac. She knows more about him than he does and he desperately want's to know more, but she won't tell him.
-What's with robots being called 1-1. There was one in Infinity Train too.
-"She smiled at the thought of a Derec-proof city" like childproofing.
-If that's Derec then who's Derec? Suspicious indeed.
-If he's David, and he's David, and she's David, are we all David?
-Kathrine is a transwoman. Its canon.
-Wohler died :( It all could have been avoided if Katherine wasn't being stupid and impulsive
-I've noticed many misspelled words.
-There's no reason for him to love they, she's been nothing but rude to him and was willing to abandon him. They have 0 chemistry. Actually, they had more chemistry in the first book than the second one. They absolutely hate each other in this one.
-PRIVACY DUDE, YOU STILL DON'T KNOW HER!
-"A new friendship is like new wine. When it has aged, you will drink it with pleasure".
