About this ebook
Laugh with Odin, the robot vacuum cleaner who tells you how the Danish government supplies senior citizens with nonhuman assistance so they can live independently.
Odin is a tireless worker and his elderly client relies on him totally. She treats him like a dear friend. Spurning her Havanese helper dog, she lets Odin do as he pleases.
Not hard to imagine that arrangement going fatally wrong . . .
A Derringer and Macavity Award finalist acclaimed for "sharp storytelling" (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell lets her robot narrator explain the deadly consequences of replacing living home aides with nonhuman helpers.

(iBooks reader review)
Help Me Nora is a compelling gritty novel. I could not put it down and found the legal background fascinating.
