Clever plotting. And a work of speculative fiction, set in a near-future world, that is totally fascinating. Lou is the fifth victim of a serial killer, leaving behind a lovely toddler and bereft husband. Until she\u2014along with the other four victims\u2014is brought back to life through a government program, the \u201creplication committee,\u201d that clones victims. Celebrities and women advocates, who took to the streets with a red gash painted across their necks\u2014mimicking how the victims were murdered\u2014drew attention to their plight. But understandably, adjustment to her old\/new life isn\u2019t easy, although a support group with the other women helps. Then Lou learns some things about her murder that raise some serious questions, making her wonder whom, if anyone, she can trust. Much of the beauty of this book lies in the details; Lou works as a touch therapist in a franchise in a strip mall, dispensing hugs to the emotionally needy. These sorts of facts build on each other slowly, creating a fascinating world, when all of a sudden the book takes several sharp turns that will leave the reader gasping. <strong>Addictive, fast, and smart.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brilliant writing.
