WhoDunnits: A Mystery Book Group – “Six Wakes” by Mur Lafferty (JCCL)

This month, WhoDunnits will be reading Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty .

“Imagine a world in which dying is inconsequential because people can easily transfer their “mindmaps” to clones and essentially live forever. Even in such a world, it is shocking for the entire crew of a spacecraft to wake up in newly cloned bodies and discover their previous incarnations had all been murdered. Maria Arena and five other crew members on the Dormire mission to colonize a distant planet wake up in the middle of a gruesome murder scene with no memory of what happened. Not only do they have to solve the mystery of who murdered them; they must also work together to keep their malfunctioning ship on track—no easy task when you don’t know whom you can trust. Six Wakes is a perfect blend of science fiction and mystery, complete with Clue-like red herrings and thought-provoking philosophizing about the slippery slope of cloning technology.” – Booklist
