Isaac Asimov's Inferno by Roger MacBride Allen

badlibrarians's review

3.0

Not as good as “Caliban”, but still a decent book. All of my favorite characters were back plus a few more. “Inferno” isn’t as suspenseful, though. There’s no grand reveal, and the conclusion is a bit anticlimactic. BUT this is a common issue in trilogies, so hopefully “Utopia” takes me for a ride. The characters were also somewhat flatter than the first book. Only Donald and Grieg were interesting on a personal level. I spent a good deal of the book anticipating that Grieg planned his own death. Just goes to show that I’m not a detective. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I enjoyed this more than the first in the series. It plays more as a crime drama than a mystery and is much better for it.
I'd have given it 4 stars but it is once again mired by some more really awful character names.

I always loved Asimov’s robot mysteries and Roger MacBride Allen does a great job carrying on the series. R. Daneel Olivaw would be right at home on Inferno.
