I I keep thinking of this one as 'Gidget solves a murder." Really enjoyed this one, had trouble putting it down.

This has been on my to read list for a few decades. I probably should have read it back in the '80s when the 1960s scifi/fantasy misogyny wouldn't have bothered me so much.
The book is a series of vignettes. Some are better than others. Some are a little hard to follow because of the dated style of the writing. Interesting concept that doesn't really get into the moral decision of how Helva came to be wired into the mainframe of a ship and encased in a titanium tube. I really liked the world building in the first vignette. I found the vignette involving the actors extremely hard to follow - this section really dragged for me.
Happy to check this one off of my to read list. Enjoyed it... I was entertained...but I'm not going to continue with the series.
