A review by jakobitz
The Body Scout by Lincoln Michel

5.0

Think Blade Runner meets Money Ball… and Deckard’s a baseball scout for a pharmaceutical company. The Body Scout, a cyberpunk detective noir, is beautifully written, full of interesting characters and clever world-building. The story reads like a noir mystery, but the strength of the novel lies in the journey you take through this near future world, and less on solving a mystery (although that was well executed as well). Maybe it’s just a case of reading the right book at the right time, but this was a fun smart sci-fi read that was truly enjoyable (and if you are an audiobook reader, the performance was excellent and enhanced the story).
