Lou is a clone of herself who was murdered by a serial killer and she forms part of a group of women who were brought back to life by the replication committee. This story follows Lou's investigation into her own murder and, of course there are twists and turns along the way. Virtual reality has a big role in the story too. I do, however, feel like clones would have a lot more issues than Williams gave them if they were able to be created and have all the memories except for their murders. It is hard to wrap your head around that and fortunately, we don't have to, for now....more

I read it in two days. It follows the story of Eva Tyne who is a concert violin soloist who has just made her debut in NYC. Originally from Ireland, she is making her way as a violinist in the States. After a crazy rush to the hospital on the night of her debut, she meets a man in a bar who changes the course of her life. She later meets a man from Russia who finds out that she is a violinist and he offers her a rare deal on a violin that might just be a Stadivarius. There are only so many of them in the world and they are the most expensive violins to date. This story follows Eva's spiral into self-doubt and desire as she starts her quest to be the owner of this amazing and intriguing violin. Claire Kilroy did a wonderful job of making me feel the anxiety and adrenaline along with the protagonist. I highly recommend this book to anyone look for some great intrigue. You don't have to be a violinist to enjoy it but being one myself, I was able to enjoy it even more understanding the music and violin references. ...more

It was a quick read and the end was somewhat exciting but for some reason it didn't seem to really suck me in like a good mystery novel does. I did enjoy the imagery of India with the sights and smells but overall it was just an OK read....more
