I'm not well versed in the murder mystery detective genre, but I thought this was well done. It's a little predictable, but I enjoyed the ride. I found it to be a fun, quick listen. I needed something different from what I had been reading, and this fit that bill. The sci-fi concept was intriguing, and the fact pace kept me interested. However, I wish the plot had been more developed. Particularly the ending. It could have been something better, something more. Regardless, I'd still definitely recommend the read. If you're a big fan of noir, you might really love this.
