ARC received from Hachette Australia for an honest review

I was intrigued by the blurb of The 22 Murders of Madison May, and that intrigue lasted until the last page.

Now I am not really a sc-fi fan, but Max Barry had me drawn right in to the story of Madison May - the poor young lady who keeps getting murdered, no matter which of the parallel worlds she is living in.

This was one of those books that I didn't know what to expect, and hurriedly turned each page to find out what happened next.

Our heroine Felicity will have you running with her as she not only tries to stop a murdered, as her world keeps changing. She really made this book for me. I wondered how she would adapt to each new "Felicity", and she did so with aplomb. I am sure I would have gone nutso after the first change, let alone her many.

If you are a fan of pure thrillers, the sci-fi aspect of the story may not be your thing, however for me, this was an added extra to this exquisite tale.

I have not read Max Barry before, but I will definitely be checking more out in the future.
