Quite an interesting story of mystery and murder. Angel is a retribution specialist, the law doesn't always punish people but she can. Sometimes this just involves a warning but sometimes she can get permission to kill. Now her mother is kidnapped and there's a dead body and a detective who is making her think again about using a robot for sex.
It's J D Robb Light. Fans of Eve and Rourke will possibly find this a fun read, I did.

Abandoned early- did not finish. Might be a mood thing, but it wasn't working for me. I was poking at it off and on.
It's medium near future SF, but it felt really arch and selfconcious.
