It's an un-specified time in the future. Technology such as VR, holos, autos, specs, live walls and swiftboards are the norm.
And it's possible to clone a body of the dead to bring them back to life - or a new version of life. That's up to the replication commission.
My Murder is the story of Lou, who was murdered by serial killer Edward Early, along with four other women. They were cloned back to life based on public campaigning.
Sound unconventional? Well it absolutely works. Author Katie Williams brings this unique and darkly quirky crime thriller to life in a way that won't let you put it down. Sci-fi elements yes, but it doesn't read like sci-fi.
I could not have guessed how it would play out, and it was completely satisfying. Both touching and unsettling.
Recommended!
