Summary

One body. Five minds. One killer.

The Earth's growing population has finally been controlled. Lifespans are limited to 80 years, except for those who make an extreme choice: to become a commune. Five minds sharing one body, living for four hours at a time. But with a combined lifespan of nearly 150 years.

Alex, Kate, Sierra, Ben and Mike are a commune. They have already spent 25 years together, arguing, reconciling, alliances shifting and re-forming. They travel to a Death Park where games are played in which extra lifespan can be gambled like money. The plan is to win time to upgrade their next host body. But then Kate accepts a dangerous offer and one of them disappears.

Someone is trying to kill off members of the commune. Is one of them responsible? Or is someone else playing a deadly game? It's hard enough to catch a murderer. It's almost impossible when you might be sharing a body with them....

This brilliant murder mystery blends classic crime with speculative fiction in a stunning debut.

Unique story of the future

Narration was well done and Joe Jameson did well with the multitude of characters.

This book was recommended by a Facebook ad and not my usual listen but it intrigued me and I don't regret purchasing this.

A good whodunit.
