Prime Suspects: A Clone Detective Mystery by Jim Bernheimer
2.0
Disclosure: I received a free audible copy of this from Audiobookblast.com for review.
The idea behind this story is really promising, but the book fails to live up to that promise. The main character is a homicide detective who wakes up on a strange world and discovers he's a clone, one of many made from the original detective. He has to investigate his original's death and the other clones of the detective are the prime suspects. Could have been a great exploration of nature vs. nurture, of the risks of biotech and what rights a clone should have. Instead it was just boring. The characters are all flat, I never cared about any of them, nor did I care whodunnit. Good thing it was short (<5 hours) or it might have been a did-not-finish.
