This book grabbed me from the first paragraph, and I never lost interest

The premise (short-lived clones who are able to merge back with the original) is interesting, the world-building is strong, the hero is flawed but sympathetic, and additional characters are fairly well-developed. There is quite a bit of switching back-and-forth of points-of-view – but I felt that it was done successfully, without getting the reader lost in confusion.

The mystery of whodunit-and-how-and-why is the main driver for this book. The reader *thinks* that they know more than the main character – but it's not until the end, when the clones with all the different pieces finally come together, that the reader learns the full truth.

If you like a good science-fiction mystery, you will enjoy this novel.
