Turing Hopper Series by Donna Andrews

Artificial Intelligence Personality Turing Hopper is in a panic. Her creator, Zack, has missed work for several days. After exhausting her resources, Turing is still far from giving up. For, unlike other AIPs, Turing is sentient—and she senses foul play. Her skills of deduction may be virtually flawless. But it’ll take more than that for a digital detective to catch a flesh-and-blood criminal …

It’s hard to do legwork with no legs. So when her coworker Ray Santiago is found murdered in an alley, Artificial Intelligence Personality Turing needs her human friends’ help to find his killer. But just as they start to put together the puzzle of Ray’s fabricated life, outside dangers creep into the lab—and, perhaps, within the very computer in which Turing lives.

If she had a nose, Artificial Intelligence Personality Turing would smell something fishy. She’s been monitoring criminal-at-large Nestor Garcia’s dormant credit card. Then, several thousand dollars’ worth of purchases show up—and packages ordered on Garcia’s card have been sent to a vacant house. Turing’s sure that someone else has stolen the plastic. Because for Garcia, using his traceable credit card would be like clapping on his own handcuffs... moreIf she had a nose, Artificial Intelligence Personality Turing would smell something fishy.

But just when Tim finds something he wishes he hadn’t, he’s charged with murder. Now, Turing and her friends have to clear his name. The only way is to find the guilty party—by luring him to attack them. But doing so might very well get them “accidentally” deleted … less
