Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

andreacpowers's review against another edition

3.0

A locked room mystery in space. Initially I thought I didn't love it because mysteries are not my thing but other reviewers feel it's a 3 also. Well, it's important to read widely.

I am awful at writing reviews but basically: If you want to read a closed-room murder mystery that is set in space and involves clones and has a diverse cast of characters, please read this book.

The six main characters in this book all come from diverse backgrounds unique to them. It doesn't really feel that way though. ~80% of this book is dialogue. I think the author tried to set them up with different personalities. But whenever anyone spoke, everyone's voice sounded exactly the same.

I didn't hate the ending though. Which is the hardest execution in a mystery I suppose. (I haven't read many mysteries).

I loved the premise of this book, but found the ending a little rushed and unsatisfying. Overall, I enjoyed the book, just was hoping for a little more from a great initial premise.
