Perfect for you if...

You enjoy locked-room mysteries that twist the premise on its head, where the crime scene is a spaceship and the suspects are copies of the same people.
You like science fiction that uses high concepts (cloning, identity, memory) to explore character and motive, not just to show off world-building.
You want a page-turner that balances puzzle-solving with genuine unease about what these characters have become and what they're capable of.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a hero to root for from page one. Maria and her crewmates are flawed, morally grey, and sometimes hard to trust.
You prefer space opera with grand battles and alien contact. This is intimate, tense, and focused on a small cast in close quarters.
You want answers handed cleanly. The mystery unfolds through fragments, contradictions, and unreliable memories, which can frustrate readers seeking clarity.

About this book

Maria Arena awakens in a cloning vat covered in blood with no memory of her death. This is unusual—in previous awakenings as a clone, her first memory was always of how she died. Maria's vat is one of seven aboard the starship Dormire, each holding a clone of a crew member. The clones are designed to awaken when their previous incarnations die. Maria is not the only crew member to have died recently. As the crew awakens, they discover they are being hunted. Any one of them could be the killer. This science fiction thriller was nominated for the Hugo Award.
