This was one of my most anticipated reads this year and it didn't disappoint. The "murder mystery" format sets it apart from the rest of the series while retaining what makes the Murderbot saga such good reads: quick pacing, a great supporting cast, excellent action sequences, thoughtful world-building and a heaping spoonful of introspection from the main character. And this novella in particular is very good at showing how that internal monologue has really evolved from the beginning of their journey.
