The security droid with a heart (though it wouldn’t admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry!
*No, I didn’t kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn’t dump the body in the station mall. * When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?)

Not much to say beyond the title. There's nits to pick, but you know what you're getting and you're not likely to be disappointed.
I found it interesting how this book brought in some contemporary-world themes around refugees and their abusers, but that's not explored particularly deeply, it's just one more reason to cheer on Murderbot as it does its thing. Really this is just one more Murderbot instalment, and I am so very here for that.
