I sei cloni by Mur Lafferty

carlosperezcasas's review against another edition

4.0

Muy interesante lectura como escritor de ciencia ficción, pues especula con ideas jugosas de las que se pueden sacar futuros textos. Excepcional también el desarrollo del proceso criminal y la investigación del quién es quién. El problema es el final. No es que sea malo, de hecho es muy bueno, pero es un final más propio de relato, con su frase lapidaria final, que de una novela que se ha ido cociendo lentamente.

En otras palabras: final abierto.

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.
