The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov

The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov is another science fiction book which is an uncommon mix of mystery as well. I think this was really well done as it is hard to make a detective story mixed with science fiction due to the technology. This story follows Elijah Bailey who is an Earthman. Stereotypically in this book, Earthmen hate the Spacers and their robots. Elijah also hated robots but is forced to work with one to solve a murder on Earth of a Spacer.

I like this book because I am a fan of science fiction and I like mystery novels because they usually have the big reveal at the end. In this book that big reveal happens too and the fact that it is joined with science fiction makes it even more fun. I think that the tension which was built up made the big reveal even cooler. Also Elijah suspected his robot partner and then tried to convict him twice. I think that this made the story really interesting due to him having to think outside of the outside of the box.
